Blepharitis Ulcerative lid lesions
Conjunctivitis Conjunctival inflammation associated with a positive microbiological examination and/or conjunctival epithelial defect
Epithelial Keratitis Dendritic or geographic epithelial irregularity or ulceration
Neurotrophic Keratitis Indolent intrapalpebral epithelial irregularity or ulceration
Subepithelial Stromal Keratitis Subepithelial nummular, patchy, sectoral infiltrate or opacity
Deep Stromal Keratitis Infiltrate, haze, opacity not limited to the subepithelial stroma
Neovascularization Corneal vessels at any depth extending more than 2 mm from the limbus
Lipid Infiltrate Any “hard infiltrate” associated with neovascularization
Necrotizing Keratitis An epithelial defect associated with stromal loss and infiltrate
Endotheliitis Sectoral or nummular stromal edema associated spatially with keratoprecipitates and a lack of stromal infiltrate
Uveitis Anterior chamber cell and flare in a patient with other prior or simultaneous known manifestations of HSV ocular disease
