Eyevir Eye Ointment is an antiviral medicine which treats eye infections caused by Herpes simplex virus. It works by preventing the multiplication of the virus on the surface of your eyeball (cornea). This stops the production of new viruses and clears up your eye infection.

However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
