Is it ocular herpes or could be something else?

Ok. My eyes have been itching for a week and a half now, I think I may have ocular herpes, my symptoms are itchy, blurry eyes, I don't have any heavy disharge or crusting of the eyes to the point where I can't open them in the morning I also don't have any sores around my eyes, what  did happened to me twice while crying I saw a litlle bump under one of my eyes but when i rubbed a little tea tree oil on  it the bump went flat ;other than that my surrounding eye area tingles and itches too. I went to the emergency room and they gave me viroptic, but i have been using it for 3 days now and the itchiness still remains.
The reason I think it may be ocular herpes is beacsue I did have a cold sore when the eye problems started.

You need to see an Eye MD ophthalmologist. Only exam with a biomicroscope can tell if you have H Simplex. Find one near you at www.aao.org
