Ocular herpes, or eye herpes is caused by the type 1 herpes simplex virus, which causes cold sores. Stromal keratitis happens when the deeper layers of the cornea are affected and can lead to scarring causing blinding. Ocular herpes is characterized by a painful sore on the eyelid or on the surface of the cornea of the eye.


Although more research is needed, some studies have found that lysine, or L-lysine, an essential amino acid, taken on a regular basis may help prevent outbreaks of cold sores and genital herpes.
One study found that L-lysine was better at preventing than curing herpes, and another found that taking it at the beginning of an outbreak did not reduce symptoms. Our recommendation therefore, is that because this condition can repeat, if you have it one time, you increase L-lysine in your diet to try to prevent future outbreaks.
