Can I get herpes from urgent care visit?
I went to urgent care three weeks ago. I have oral herpes for 11 years and had initial outbreak. I went to urgent care for feeling sick and dizzy. The physician uses the same gloves she out inside my mouth with a tongue blade to touch my forehead and neck. I wear glasses. Is it possible she spread herpes to my eyes? Then I had a reddish itchy area right eyelid and had developed a migraine following week and the red area went away and then cried and had swollen eyelids both eyes. Then seen optometrist says I plugged rear ducts and bhleparitis. Doxycycline antibiotic given for 10 days. I have asthma, allergies and eczema and oral herpes. I think I should see a ophthalmologist to rule out herpes in the eye. I see dermatologist to rule out rosacea. What are the chances of getting ocular herpes from that occurrence?
No, it's not possible. You didn't get ocular herpes from this urgent care visit.

Even though I removed my eye glasses ?
This is a low to pretty much zero risk. Bigger risk of getting hit by an asteroid. Unless u had an active OB and they rubbed it in your eye i wouldn't worry.
There is no chance you caught ocular herpes from your doctor. Not even a low chance. This was zero risk.
I meant to write, "from your doctor visit"
