The intraocular penetration of acyclovir after subconjunctival administration. 1987

J Schulman, and G A Peyman, and J Liu, and M Scott, and J C Barber

Five patients received a subconjunctival injection (25 mg) of acyclovir before undergoing scheduled enucleation. Seven hours after injection, the observed aqueous and vitreous levels of acyclovir were above the minimum inhibitory concentrations for many herpes simplex viruses types 1 and 2. Systemic absorption measured at two and seven hours after injection was negligible.
