Anyone experience ocular herpes?

in

Hi, I was diagnoised with ocular herpes last month, after being treated first for an eye infection then eye allergies, corneal abrasion and finally a dentrite ulcer confirmed that I had ocular herpes. I was treated with an eye drop & the infection resolved within
a few days, but I was allergic to the drops and still suffering
redness and some tearing, but three different opthamologists have
confirmed that the virus has cleared up for now. I'm concerned about my future as I've heard that it can reocurr often and sometimes cause blindness. This eye has always caused me some trouble with inflamation from a graft 5 years ago, so I'm afraid that I'll either be running to the doctor all the time or I'll miss the beginning of an outbreak. I'm so worried, if anyone has
had any experience with this please reply. Oh, at the time of diagnosis I was
being treated with steriod drops for allergies. Can this trigger an attack?
What triggers ocular herpes attacks? Thanks so much for your input.
