A member asked:

I have genital herpes and every morning i wake up with my eyes a little crusted and my vision blurred for about three min does that have anything to?

Your complaint : Your complaint does not sound like herpetic involvement of your eyes. I would suggest that you see an ophthalmologist. Your symptoms do not resemble the usual herpetic symptoms - so do not worry - but see your eye doctor when you can.
