Herpes eye disease is contagious and easily spread. It is so contagious that just about everybody has already got it, so it does not matter?

When the worst symptoms are over, is it sociable to go out or would you be treated like a leper?

No messing about please. Not in the mood for it.

I Have personally Seen Manifestation of this, the Actual Virus, Many Times, is VZV (Another Herpesvirus, Not HSV-1). Looks to Be Very Painful (Even Without Secondary Infection). I personally Think Autoinfection By HSV-1 is Unlikely, After the Primary HSV-1 Infection.

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid—such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.

This is not as uncommon as you might think. You are OK to go out once the eye patch is off ( if you have to wear one). You are not alone in the "herpes" department. Every human in the world has some kind of herpes lying dormant in their body. Yours is more serious since it comes out in the eye. Is it IN the eye , on the eyelid, around the eye, where, exactly?


In case you didn't know, there are lots of antivirals that you can take to act as a prophylactic. Valtrex, acyclovir, your Dr can help you with that. Of course, you'll need to limit your exposure to sunlight for long periods of time. Maybe 30 minutes, at most. If you start to feel the symptoms coming back (itching, watering, eyeball feels like there' s something in it, etc) go inside immediately.


The main thing is to control the outbreaks. You want to limit them as much as possible since you could become blind if you get a really nasty outbreak and the cumulative aspect is not to be ignored.
I hope this helps.

Depends on the person you're going out with. You should definately inform her of your ailement. Some think that the difference between love and herpes is that herpes is forever.

I would go out, but then, I care little what other people think of me...life is too short to spend it worrying what other people think. Besides, look how common cold sores are?

If you're not contagious, I say go out! If people ask what's up with your eye, tell them it's an infection caused by something and that's it. If they press for details, ask, "Why are you so curious? You're not going to catch it."

When you get herpes eye disease were you looking for love in all the wrong places.
