Shingles: Can it occur in the areas of the eye? |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: Can you get shingles in the eye or eye area? Dear Nann: Shingles is the affection of the nerve with the herpes zooster virus. Thus it can occur in the eye and the eye area if the nerve supplying that area is affected. However this is more serios and is known as herpes zooster opthalmicus and thus can lead to complications like visual changes. You need to see a physician soon to get the medication for limiting thiis stage. All the best. |
