A 30-year-old woman has sought care because of her recurrent photophobia, tearing, and eye irritation. During assessment, her care provider asks about any history of cold sores or genital herpes.
 
  What is the rationale for the care provider's line of questioning?
  A)
  Herpes simplex virus (HSV) conjunctivitis indicated a need for antiviral rather than antibacterial treatment.
  B)
  HSV infection of the cornea is a common cause of corneal ulceration and blindness.
  C)
  Chronic viral infection of the eyes can result in HSV autoinoculation of the mouth and labia.
  D)
  A history of HSV with eye irritation is suggestive of glaucoma.
