Herpes simplex virus keratitis may appear eye pain, photophobia tears, limbal congestion and other symptoms.
1, eye pain
cornea is rich in trigeminal nerve first sensory nerve, so sensitive to pain, when the cornea is attacked by the virus, patients may appear eye pain symptoms.
2, photophobia tears
corneal tissue contains rich sensory nerve fibers, even if it is subject to minor stimulation, may also cause discomfort, so sensitive to light stimulation, after receiving light will appear tears.
3, limbal congestion
due to inflammation stimulation will lead to local corneal capillary dilation, serious patients may lead to new blood vessels directly invaded the cornea, limbal congestion.
