Herpes of the eye almost always is extremely painful. Probably this is something else. As discussed previously, there is little chance of transferring your own genital infection to your eyes. On the other hand, if it IS herpes, it can be quite dangerous, with possible permanent damage to the cornea and impaired vision forever after. See a doctor about this. Good luck.
