Dear editor

We read with interest the letter of Dr J Colin with regard to their observations on dendritic ulcerations of conjunctiva. We are grateful to the authors for directing our attention to the earlier published report.

Dear Editor

I read with interest the article entitled "Conjunctival dendrite in a case of primary herpes simplex infection", (U Sridhar et al.[1] This is a very interesting and helpful clinical observation. The authors state that "appearance of a dendritic ulcer on the conjunctiva, to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported".

We have previously published "Three cases of dendritic herpetic ulcerations of the conjunctiva",[2] I would like to give that information to your readers.
