Herpes of the eye
Anyone ever had it? It seems I have it. It happened after my head cold last week, and after the feeling that a cold sore was going to form as well. The cold sore never did eventuate. I have a blister almost 1 cm long on the inside on my lower eyelid. Gets annoying when I stare at the computer screen for long periods, as it feels like I have something in my eye. Well I do I guess. A blister LOL.

Ouch. I didn't even know it was possible. It sounds really painful and annoying.
I guess you can't use zovirax either. Is there an eye version?

My sister has had it twice. It can be quite damaging, so please pay attention to it. Try to rest the eye when you can. My sister was being monitored through the eye & ear hospital.

Ouch, you poor thing. As HotI said, I agree, you should make sure you are seeing a Dr closely with it as it can lead to complications.
Yeah I will be making a GP appointment in the morning sometime. I am going for surgery in 11 days so want it cleared or healing by then.

hope this all turned out ok astrolady. ocular herpes can be really nasty.
By the time I got there. The blister had disappeared. Typical. He said my eye was mucky though, so put it down as a mild conjunctivitis.
