While recurrence of Acute retinal necrosis is not completely preventable presently, administration of topical and [[intravitreal]] [[antiviral]] therapy targeted to the specific etiological cause of the disease can reduce the chance of recurrence.

While recurrence of Acute retinal necrosis is not completely preventable presently, administration of topical and [[intravitreal]] [[antiviral]] therapy targeted to the specific etiological cause of the disease can reduce the chance of recurrence.<ref name="pmid24385671">{{cite journal |vauthors=Flaxel CJ, Yeh S, Lauer AK |title=Combination systemic and intravitreal antiviral therapy in the management of acute retinal necrosis syndrome (an American Ophthalmological Society thesis) |journal=Trans Am Ophthalmol Soc |volume=111 |issue= |pages=133–44 |year=2013 |pmid=24385671 |pmc=3868412 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
*Application of [[antiviral]] therapy is more effective for prevention when administered as close to disease onset as possible.
**Extensive, prolonged therapy is important in preventing spread of the disease to the unaffected eye.


Further [[prophylactic]] measures, such as [[vitrectomy]], may be used in current Acute retinal necrosis patients to minimize the possibility of complications, including [[retinal detachment]].<ref name="pmid26035758">{{cite journal |vauthors=Shantha JG, Weissman HM, Debiec MR, Albini TA, Yeh S |title=Advances in the management of acute retinal necrosis |journal=Int Ophthalmol Clin |volume=55 |issue=3 |pages=1–13 |year=2015 |pmid=26035758 |pmc=4567584 |doi=10.1097/IIO.0000000000000077 |url=}}</ref>
