Rx Side Effects - repost

There's a commercial for an eye drop which makes you generate more tears, and in the commercial they make a comment at the end about it not being tested in "herpes viral infections of the eye". Think about that for a second. Of all the possible illnesses you might want to check on side effects for, why list "herpes viral infections." If you've got a herpes viral infection in your eye, you've got bigger fucking problems than not having enough tear generating ability. Just how the fuck does one get a herpes viral infection in the eye? I can think of ways but they're all something I would connect more to porn movies than to real life. Imagine explaining that to a doctor. "Hey doc, I took a wad in the eye the other week and now, it's itching like crazy, think you can check it out." What doctor isn't immediately going to have second thoughts about touching this person's eye, even with gloves on?
