It is viral infection and they have given antiviral antibiotic medicine. It is a infection which takes time for cure. Constant and regular follow up is required. its prognosis is not very good. efforts may be made to preserve as much vision as possible. Other alternative anti viral medication are available. Culture is not possible so treatment is to be on trial and error method.
