39. Eyezirgan - How topical Ganciclovir is changing our treatment of HSV (Dr. Parwez Hossain)

With the arrival of Eyezirgan (commercial available topical ganciclovir), we now have a more readily accessible preservative-free option for treatment of HSV.  So why is Eyezirgan a potentially important new player on the market?  How does one decide between oral or topical treatments for HSV, and is there a longer-term role for antivirals in the treatment of Zoster, in addition to just HSV?
