If you have been exposed to the simplex virus it is possible to get herpes of the eye.  This can happen when you touch an active herpes outbreak and then touch your eye.  This can also happen if you have an outbreak on your body and transfer the virus to your eye by touching your eye with your hand or finger.

Most times the infection will affect the top layer of the eyeball and not go any deeper, however there are times when the virus gets deeper in the eye and can cause blindness and other eye threatening problems.  With an eye infection and outbreak it is imperative that you do not touch your eye or rub your eye as this can cause your eye to have major problems that could lead to blindness.
