Immunologic responses of the host play a key role in the intensity, duration, and subsequent damage associated with viral ocular diseases. Broadly speaking, the host responds to a particular viral infection by producing antibodies (humoral immunity) and specifically committed lymphocytes (cell-mediated immunity). These specific responders then interact with viral antigens and attract other cells (eg, polymorphonuclear leukocytes) to produce inflammation. These mechanisms act to eliminate free virus, destroy infected cells, and possibly, eliminate cell-to-cell spread of virus. The immune mechanisms operative in the ocular structures are identical to those elsewhere in the body.
宿主的免疫反应在病毒性眼部疾病的强度、持续时间及后续损伤中起关键作用。广义而言，宿主通过产生抗体（体液免疫）和特异性致敏淋巴细胞（细胞介导免疫）来应对特定的病毒感染。这些特异性反应细胞随后与病毒抗原相互作用，并吸引其他细胞（如多形核白细胞）以产生炎症。这些机制旨在清除游离病毒、破坏被感染细胞，并可能消除病毒的细胞间传播。眼部结构中起作用的免疫机制与身体其他部位的相同。
