Ocular Herpes Picutres What Kind Of Doctor Should I See For Keratitis / Ocular Herpes?

What kind of doctor should I see for keratitis / ocular herpes? - ocular herpes picutres

I've never had a cold sore in my life. I have one, the pain became two wounds, and I woke up this morning with swollen eyes. It is as always a nightmare. I do not want to wait a week for the appointment of a single doctor to discuss what kind of doctor should I see the sight. Are you a dermatologist? Optometrist? more? Thank you!

You should promptly opthalmalogist one. Herpes in and around the eye is very serious, and treated with IV acyclovir. as soon as possible, it is treated a serious illness and needs. in his case transferred to an emergency room first.

An optometrist or optician. If keratitis, we definitely need to get in ASAP, because it can turn very serious very quickly.
