Shingles In The Eye Is Rare But Serious
“It looked like somebody gave me a beating,” late night TV host David Letterman said of his shingles attack. “It’s an irritation, inflammation or infection. For the love of God, does it hurt!” While shingles of the eye is somewhat rare, prompt treatment of shingles in the eye is extremely important to prevent lasting damage or even loss of vision. After a few days of feeling tired and sluggish, the pain-riddled rash and blisters arrived, which let Letterman know he needed to visit the doctor straight away.
