The impact of physiologic and environmental stressors should be recognized and minimized. Control of infectious conjunctivitis in catteries may not be possible without strict quarantine, aggressive vaccination practices, uncompromising hygiene, and elimination of chronic carriers.

. . .  acute feline conjunctivitis is to “treat the treatable”. Symptomatic ocular therapy is directed against chlamydia and secondary bacterial pathogens, coupled with supportive systemic care for coexisting respiratory disease. Since the primary viral infection is self-limiting in 10-14 days, ocular antiviral therapy is rarely used during the initial infection. The exception would be in patients with concurrent corneal ulceration. There is no known way of preventing viral latency, . . .
