Penetrating keratoplasties due to herpetic corneal scars are more often performed compared to persisting Varicella zoster virus infections, which are quite seldom. Penetrating keratoplasties in herpetic corneas are risk keratoplasties due to the vascularisation and the risk of recurrent virus replication. The prognosis in these corneal transplantations has been improved in recent years due to better postoperative medical treatment with virustatics and systemic immunosuppression. Indications for and treatment following penetrating keratoplasty in herpetic eyes are the topics of this review.
