If corneal opacity is dense and causing vision problem then Keratoplasty/DALK (deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty, depending upon scarring) is the answer, please wait for disease to stabilize, approximately wait for resolution and quite eye say 5-6 months before going for keratoplasty procedure. Patients with active inflammation, active ulceration, perforation, or extensive neovascularization had particularly poor success rates. Post op systemic Acyclovir is also indicated.
