Most people who have hsv1 orally don't get obvious cold sores to know it. As I said and jess 2nd'd, assume that the hsv1 is also oral. You could just have it in your eyes but mostly that's when it's contracted by small children, not by adults.

It is highly unlikely that someone with ocular herpes would not have oral herpes. Just because someone hasn't had a cold sore doesn't mean they don't have oral type 1.
If you have ocular herpes, avoid contact when you have any symptoms at all, and you should be under the care of an eye doctor.
And assume you have hsv1 orally - it is highly unlikely that you don't.

I understand that there will be that chance that it is dormant, but my question is asked given that one is willing to accept that it is solely ocular herpes. Please help!
This individual most definitely do not have oral or genital herpes. No outbreaks, no history, no transmission to any close family members with zero precautions.
Usually occular herpes is hsv1 and it's typically an oral hsv1 infection that spread up thru the nerve into the eye. I would assume you have hsv1 orally too and take precautions appropriately.
