All of the above are true although they say they think it is a herpatic virus in the nerve of the eye did not give it a name. This is the second outbreak in 3 years resulting in viral, bacterial and fungal infecton and an epitheliom that did not want to heal and the need for my second corneal transplant when I return home. For now I am trying not to stress (easier here than home), polarized sunglasses and hat when outside, because of infection risk - no pool and acyclovir 2 pills a day as insurance won't cover the Valtrex anymore. My doctor also is adding Zymar - a new drug used over in Europe for a long time, but finally approved here - it is anti-viral drop used once a day. Have the drug but not using it yet. Is the 1000 mg. of L-Lysine over the counter or prescription? What is the purpose? I will check with my doctor to see if I should add it. Thank you for sharing - I hope after this time I go much longer than 3 years. Do you have a specialist here - are you here? Debbie
