Abstract
This is a medical record review that was performed at Lahey Hospital Medical Center. Medical records in the period between 12/2003 and 12/2013 were reviewed; 1098 medical records were reviewed, those who were carrying diagnosis of Herpetic Eye Disease (HED) were divided into 2 groups according to the etiological agent: Herpes Simplex virus (HSV) (n=473) , Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) (n=625). The groups were evaluated for the age at diagnosis and the etiologies of elevated Intra occular Pressure (IOP), whether it was HED related (trabeculitis, steroid response), or non HED Glaucoma Related Diagnosis. Although many of the features between HSV and VZV subgroups are similar, the VZV group was older and appeared to have more prolonged hypertensive course than the HSV group. 4.3% of patients with HED have significant elevated IOP directly related to disease or treatment. Secondary glaucoma is a consequence of Herpetic Eye disease, but fortunately surgical intervention is rarely required to control IOP.
