Herpetic eye disease presents a wide spectrum of pathology, from superficial ulceration to deep stromal scarring and vascularisation. The biomolecular changes that occur as the disease progresses are poorly understood. Therefore the aim of the project is to better characterise the acute cytokine changes in the tear film of patients with herpetic eye disease.
