Are you taking acyclovir at the first sign of a lesion/cold sore? I have a friend who contracted ocular herpes after a cornea transplant and since then has taken acyclovir at the first sign of a cold sore. The Doctor told him to slam the virus early and hard (high dose). Unfortunately, a daily dose of acyclovir makes the virus immune to the medication so you have to save it for active outbreaks. Let me know if you are interested in the dosing protocol and I will ask my friend. This virus really sucks.
