A member asked:
Herpes infection in eye possible after carrying type 1 genitally almost ten years but no outbreaks in three years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible, and...: One cannot be certain what type of virus is infecting or damaging her eye, or whether or not the problem is truly a virus vs. something else. We don't want anyone to lose some vision. Thus, if a person has the symptoms of blurred vision, redness, tearing, and light sensitivity in one eye, it is time to see a doctor as soon as possible.
