Abstract
The four patients presented in this chapter had in common a severe herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) with corneal epitheliopathy as one of sequels. Three of them had bilateral KCS (Case 2 not tested) and three corneal hyp- or anaesthesia (Case 3 not tested), both conditions diagnosed some time after the infection had subsided. One more patient with impaired corneal sensitivity after HZO and, additionally, filamentary keratopathy is presented in Part II (Chap. 7, Case 5).
