The most common type was herpes simplex virus (HSV) stromal keratitis without ulceration (102 eyes, 45.3%), followed by epithelial keratitis (57 eyes, 25.3%), endothelial keratitis (41 eyes, 18.2%), and stromal keratitis with ulceration (25 eyes, 11.1%). More males presented with epithelial and endothelial keratitis, while more females presented with stromal keratitis with ulceration (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.02). Following treatment, 95 (42.2%) eyes were lost to review, 126 (56.0%) were resolved, and four (1.8%) developed microbial keratitis. Posttreatment visual acuity was highest in stromal keratitis without ulceration and lowest in stromal keratitis with ulceration (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.001). Twenty-seven (12.1%) patients experienced 35 episodes of HSK recurrence. HSV stromal keratitis without ulceration (20 patients, 57.1%) was the most common form of recurrence, followed by epithelial keratitis (seven patients, 20%), endothelial keratitis (five patients, 14.3%), and stromal keratitis with ulceration (three patients, 8.6%).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>HSV stromal keratitis without ulceration was the most common presentation.
