U Have Herpes Keratitis Controlled Using 400mg Acyclovir Tab Twice

U have herpes keratitis controlled using 400mg acyclovir tab twice a day. When steroid drops such as prednisolone 1% one drop is used the next day the herpes in the cornea show signs of activation. Having a cataract removed steroid drops ware required. The ophthalmologist recommended increasing the dose to 800mg twice a day. WILL THIS DOSE PREVENT HERPES ACTIVARION IN THE CORNEA?
