Recurrences of herpetic infections following intraocular surgeries pose a threat to optimal surgical outcomes. The high prevalence of herpetic diseases require ophthalmologists to be familiar with the special measures in the surgery of these patients. A thorough preoperative assessment and meticulous postoperative surveillance should be tailored for each patient, depending on the surgery and the risk of virus reactivation. We compile the relevant evidence in the literature and provide a comprehensive review of the preoperative assessment and postoperative diagnostic clues and management of the herpetic infections following different types of intraocular surgeries, including cataract surgery, keratoplasty, corneal crosslinking, glaucoma, and refractive surgeries.
