Viking ships were marine vessels of particular designs used and built by the Vikings during the Viking Age. The boat-types were quite varied, depending on what the ship was intended for, but they were generally characterized as being slender and flexible boats, with symmetrical ends with true keel.
(Redirected from Herpes of the eye). Herpetic simplex keratitis, also known as herpetic keratoconjunctivitis and herpesviral keratitis, is a form of keratitis caused by recurrent herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection in the cornea. It begins with infection of epithelial cells on the surface of the eye and retrograde infection of nerves serving the cornea.
Neither of these two viruses are the same virus that causes genital herpes and herpetic eye disease is not a sexually transmitted disease. One of the viruses that causes herpetic eye disease is the varicella-zoster virus. It also causes chickenpox and the nervous system disease shingles. When this virus affects the eye, it is called herpes zoster ophthalmicus. The other virus that causes herpetic eye disease is herpes simplex type 1, or HSV1. Herpes simplex type 1 is the same virus that causes cold sores on the lips and mouth.
