Herpes can lead to multiple eye diseases. The best way to determine if you have a herpetic eye disease is to go to your eye doctor for an evaluation. At the eye doctor's office, they will check your eyes carefully with a biomicroscope or slit lamp. With this instrument they will be able to assess changes to the external and internal structures of the eye that can signify herpetic eye disease. For instance, those with herpes simplex keratitis will have unique characteristics on their corneal. Small dendrites may appear that will stain with special dyes such as sodium fluorescein. When an eye doctor sees something like this, it can be a big red flag that one has a herpetic eye disease.
