Basically, ever since I had something going on with my mouth (sores on my tongue and swollen gums/swollen tongue when this first started) my eyes would BURN whenever they got wet. And I don't mean just burn, I mean where I would have to call someone in the room to help me get something to dry out my eyes it hurt that bad. Two days after the first incident, I went to the eye dr to see if I had herpes in my eyes. She put the dye in my eyes and said that I had two dry spots that were really bad, especially since I was still hurting with the dye in the eyes. She gave me some antibiotic drops (that I only took 4 times since I saw it was expired!) and to come back in a week for a check up. Went back, she did it again, a lil burn, and said the eyes looked better. I do wear contacts so she said it was probably from that, but I dunno. She said I can wear them again since it looked better, and I wore them for about a week when my eye became inflammed again. Went to another eye dr and said it was nothing. Then a week later again, it came back, this time with the burning sensation in both eyes from geting wet. I didn't experience blurred vision, or sensitivity to light, just it burns when it gets wet, even with drops. Plus, these sores are still there on my tongue, which the dr does not tell me what it can be and I was tested for herpes and came out negative after 9 weeks. So yeah, I dunno what is going on with my eyes, and I feel that it is related to the sores on my tongue since I had my fingers in my mouth, then washed my hands, and put my contacts in that morning this all started. Dunno what is going on. =/ Hmmmm, I have been to two eye doctors who told me I do not have herpes in my eyes.

They say there is no scarring below the oter cornea, but I am not so sure since I really have not had my vision in so long. Some days it won't hurt/act up but my vision has only been back for those 2 days mentioned. At first they thought it was just a corneal abrasion. They had me wearing a contact patch. FYI if you have ocular herpes and you are wearing contacts and you don't have any serious problems then it is NOT herpes. Herpes will multiply more readily and flare up with a contact. So here I sit. I am on Acyclovir and have been on it for a while. I have to put drops in my eyes 6 times a day for lubrication. I have been on viroptic but am not on that right now. How long is this supposed to last like this. When will it finally go dormant and give me a week of good vision? When should I see yet another doctor?

I'm not sure yet if I have ocular herpes yet, i've suspected it for a while now. Went to a doctor who was suppose to be a herpes specialist the place was so disgusting I thought I might have walked out with another disease. I have another doctors appointment this Friday. The reason I suspect is because of what I think or outbreaks my eye looks like an aligator and the pain is killing me. I will let you know, again thank you for the info.

I have to admit there is not enough information about there to educate us. I wear contact lenses and I was having some trouble with blurred vision. I went to my eye doctor and he told me I don't and never have had Ocular Herpes. Why this bothers me is that I can't say 100% I was careful ALL of the time up until now. I have been wearing glasses for the past 9 days and i don't show any signs of Ocular Herpes. Do you think I am over-reacting? I have had Oral Herpes for about almost 3 years.

You've had oral herpes (I'm guessing) for a long time so the antibodies are up and running anyway. In addition to that you probably wash your hands when you are supposed to and practice good hygiene in a normal routine. Let's not borrow trouble that isn't there, ok?

I am finally making myself knowledgable about oral herpes and it scares me to death. I dont know if I was really careful. Do you think I have anything to worry about? Can you tell me a little bit more about your childhood outbreaks? Did you get a lot, close to your eye? Please email me. I have had oral herpes for 2 years and wear contact lenses.

Sometimes our mind plays tricks on us. The other other thing that I can think of is maybe you are having an allergic reaction to something?
