According to the text I'll include below from
http://www.eyevet.info/herpes.html
Acyclovir does not work for Feline Herpes virus. I used the Idoxuridine
drops and 250 mg of L-Lysine twice a day for the kittens I rescued and
it worked very well. This article states that the Lysine dosage is 125
mg twice a day, but from my experience the higher dose is needed when
you're in the midst of a crisis and/or dealing with an immune
compromised animal.

Text from eyevet.info:

"If corneal involvement is present, topical antivirals are prescribed.
In the adult cat with recrudescent FHV-1 infection topical antivirals
are best used aggressively early in the course of the disease before
stromal involvement progresses. Three antiviral medications are
available. Idoxuridine (IDU) interferes with viral DNA synthesis by
substituting for the essential nucleotide thymidine. IDU is poorly
soluble and is virostatic. Prolonged contact with the infected tissue is
required. The 0.1% solution must be applied five times daily. IDU is
marketed as Stoxil (Smith Kline & French) and Herplex (Allergan
Pharmaceuticals). Adenine Arabinoside inhibits viral DNA polymerase and
thus decreases viral DNA synthesis. It is sold as Vira A (Parke Davis)
and the 3% ointment is applied five times daily. Triflurothymidine is
incorporated into the viral DNA and leads to the synthesis of defective
proteins. Sold as Viroptic (Burroughs Wellcome) it is considered the
most effective, least toxic and most soluble of the antivirals. It is
also the most expensive. Available as a 1% solution, Viroptic is applied
every two hours while the animal is awake until the cornea has
re-epithelialized, then reduced to every four hours while awake, for two
weeks more. Acyclovir is the newest antiviral available for human
herpesvirus. It is a tablet given orally and is marketed under the trade
name Zovirax (Burroughs Wellcome). Research by Nasisse indicates that
triflurothymidine is the most effective against Feline Herpesvirus
followed by Idoxuridine then Adenine Arabinoside. Although Acyclovir was
most effective against Human herpes simplex virus, it was not effective
against Feline Herpesvirus. This may be due to the inability of FHV-1 to
induce deoxycytidine kinase.
Other strategies to assist in the treatment of herpetic keratitis
reported in the last few years include topically applied interferon,
oral administration of l - lysine and oral administration of cimetidine.
Interferon is reported to stimulate the local immunity to viral
infection. A 20 to 50 IU/ml solution in artificial tear is administered
topically twice daily. Orally administered l - lysine has been reported
to inhibit herpesvirus growth by competitive inhibition of the uptake of
arginine which is required for viral multiplication. It is given to cats
at a dosage of 125 mg twice daily. Cimetidine has been shown to
generally stimulate cell mediated immunity. It is given at a dosage of
50 mg once daily. Anecdotal reports suggest that maintenance of cats on
one or more of these medications during periods of quiescence, will
result in a longer period of time before recrudescence of infection
occurs, and that when recrudescence occurs, the infection in milder and
of shorter duration."

You need to find a new vet now. A temp of 106 is *NOT* great! It's a
dangerous temperature to have and the fact that he is telling you not to
treat your cat's eye is malpractice. I am shocked that you have chosen
to ignore the several knowledgeable replies you've received and instead
are risking your cat's vision and health by listening to an obviously
incompetent vet. If you care anything about this cat get it to a
different vet right away and get it the treatment it should have. To
ignore the eye issue and allow your cat to be stay in pain and untreated
is neglectful and abusive.

How could your vet possibly think that a temperature of 106+ is "great"?
The normal temperature for a cat ranges from approximately 100.5 to 102.5
degrees fahrenheit.  Some references list a different range, but the
acceptable difference from these numbers is very slight.  *None* show
anything *near* 106 as being "acceptable" (let alone "great").
Take a look at these sites for information concerning "normal" temperature:

Please see another vet ASAP for a second opinion.  My wonderful cat Duffy is
blind, and has been blind from birth.
I would do anything if I could do something to give him sight, and you are
in a position where delay could *cost*
your cat his sight.  If possible, see a veterinary ophthalmologist, but at
the very least get to a competent vet.  PLEASE DO NOT DELAY.

How can you call yourself "rescuer of cats" without knowing the very basics?
106.1 is almost critical!

This is the *second* absurd statement you say your vet made... which I find
very, very hard to believe.  I cannot fathom even the worst of vets saying
106.1* was "great"....   So I think either you're a troll or an idiot too
utterly stupid to be entrusted with a cat's life.... I'm leaning toward the
former...

In the unlikely event that you actually did manage to find the most
incompetent vet on the planet, you now have more than enough reason to take
your cat to another vet... before the cat goes blind or dies.... which would
be *your* fault since you've already been warned by more than one person.
