Do I have eye herpes?!
Question: My left eye's bloodshot towards the inner tear duct and it aches once every few minutes for like 20 seconds. My right eye is developing some redness but not as bad as my left was yesterday. And it feels like it has an airpocket and the air keeps flatuating out of it, hehe. Anyways, I know all that hoo-haa about avoiding it, but I didn'tknow you could get eye herpes until I touched my eye a few times during a lip outbreak. My question is, does it sound like eye herpes and how easy is it to get eye herpes?

No but it sounds like conjunctvitis. Herpetic eye infection is worse and usually on one side. There may be visual loss with herpes and a lot of pain
Go to the doctor!
Have it looked at. It may or may not be herpes, but if it is and it goes untreated, scarring of the cornea can take place.
I'm not sure, but it sounds more like Pink Eye to me. Best to see a doctor if you're not sure. These are your only eyes so you need to take care of them.
