Ocular Herpes

Does ocular herpes have a subtle onset with one eye irritation (reddening, dry) or quick one with severe pain even requiring a hospital visit?

I want to see an ophthalmologist like you have instructed soo many people to do and he said I didn't have ocular herpes. I went to see him after having irritated eyes for 5 days. Was that too soon?

you wouldn't have contracted herpes in your eye from the encounter in question.  

it's the time of year when conjunctivitis is quite common. usually it's caused by common upper respiratory viruses. if it doesn't go away in a week, be seen for a more thorough exam.
