Cold : Cold sores are caused by the herpes virus and there is a chance of the virus infecting your eye, also. Even though many herpes eye infections clear up without problems, some may go on the cause corneal scarring and damage to your vision. Because if this, it is important that you see a doctor as soon as you can for a thorough eye exam. If they are concerned about infection, they may put you on anti-viral eye drops to help minimize the chance of complication and scarring. Good luck!
