Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a painful viral infection caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus — the same virus responsible for chickenpox.

It usually presents as a painful, blistering rash that appears on one side of the body, commonly around the torso or waist. In some cases, it can affect the face and eyes — a condition known as herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO).

When the eye is involved, HZO can cause serious complications affecting the cornea, retina, and even the optic nerve. Swipe to learn more about how shingles can impact your eye health.
