Did you ever get an answer? I'm having the same issues you are expect my eye just feels like there is something in it but no puffiness.

Thank You terry. Are you saying that its not possable to pass it to the eyes if you touch or rub your eye after you touched your genitals? My eye lid is all puffy and red and for the last week I thought i had a tiny outbreak. Thats why I was asking. Sorry for the repeat questions and thanks for your time.

we've discussed this multiple times now in all your posts.

you aren't going to transmit your genital herpes to your eyes. it's not a reason to worry.

The reason I was asking is; I was diagnosed with hsv2 13 months ago and never seen a outbreak. Than last week i saw 2 very tiny very tiny like less than the size of a pin head on the head of my penis. So i was cheeking it out for the last week or so everytime id go to rest room. Of course i always washed my hands afterwards but last night my eye lid started to swell up and by this moring got even more swollen. Now I know I have a habit of always rubbing my eyes. So I wasnt sure if what i seen on my genitals was a hsv2 outbreak or not. But now after reading alot of things on the net and reading the handbook I would think that I somehow spread this to my eyelid.
I have valacylavier on hand and was wondering if I took the proper dose as per the handbook for recurrant outbreaks would it help to make this subside or does it have to run its course anyway.
I am going to the eye dr in the morning cause I am totaly freaked out now. Please give me your advice.
Again I apolagize for the accessive posts. Thanks in advanced.
