Pink eye in the same one eye (had shingles in this eye this year) again! five or so times in about 9months. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need eye doc or ER: These symptoms are consistent with an inflammation in the front of the eye called "iritis, " from zoster. Untreated iritis can lead to vision loss and blindness. You need to see an eye doctor as soon as possible to detect and possibly treat this. Less likely causes include an acute glaucoma (sudden high pressure in the eye) that can also lead to visual loss.
