That is what I read and what my bf was informed through the doctor. My friend's mother (a registered nurse) also informed me that it is transmitted through fluid transmission or through secretions of the skin (being coughed on, sneezed on, shaking someone's hand who sweats a lot, etc). Supposedly, people can get herpes of the eye from shaking someone's hand who was profusely sweaty then touching their hand to rub their eye shortly afterward. I also read it is not transferred from inanimate objects though, only that it is much easier to catch than HIV and much more maintainable.
