How does ocular herpes spread?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Loocally: The infection most dealt with is that of the cornea, the window in front of the eye. The virus, once started, spreads from cell to cell on the surface by contact and tear flow. You need to see an ophthalmologist quickly to get some effective medicine to prevent this as scarring is possible.
