Popis: One of the leading global causes of vision impairment due to anterior segment disease is herpes simplex keratitis (HSK). The routine clinical method in the diagnosis of HSK is examination of the eye using slit lamp biomicroscopy; nevertheless, this is a subjective examination and can potentially lead to an erroneous diagnosis. Optical devices such as in vivo confocal microscopy and anterior segment optical coherence tomography are among the additional diagnostic tools that provide a valuable resource in the diagnosis and management of the condition. In research settings, these technologies have already enhanced our understanding of the microscopic causes of numerous common in vivo observations. This review aims to highlight the multiple emerging clinical and research applications for optical imaging devices in HSK.
