Help please?Ocular Herpes? Herpes Keratitis??

Hi, recently i was exposed to type 1 herpes when i rubbed my eye after touching the outbreak (stupid i know). Ever since then i have been having pain behind my eyes, intermittent foggy vision, and kind of a dry burning feeling. This has been going on for about a month and ive been taking acyclovir just in case for about 2 weeks now also. I have been to two primary care doctors, 3 optomotrists, and 2 opthamologists and none have said that they see any problems with my eyes including herpes. I know that something is wrong and it seems like too much of a coincidence that these problems just so happened to start right after the exposure. Please somebody help if anybody knows what it could be, i have been very scared and worried and it would really help me to be reassured or informed about what this could be.

Please see an ophthalmologist specializing in cornea and external diseases.

I did see a corneal specialist and he said that my eye was clear of herpes. Could it just be settling in the nerves in my eye and it hasnt reached the surface yet?

I spoke to one of my colleagues who is a corneal and external disease specialist.  He said without an outbreak you will not see anything in the eye.

What dose of acyclovir are you taking?
