hi i found this info at <link> read through it may just interest you. herpes zoster also called shingles is a disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus. this is the virus that causes chickenpox. sometimes many years after you have had chickenpox the varicella-zoster virus becomes active again and causes shingles. shingles is an infection that produces fluid-filled blisters on the skin often near certain nerves. it may spread to the eyes. if the varicella-zoster virus spreads to nerves in your head your face eyes and nose may be affected. the virus can cause several problems including: blisters on or inside your eyelids damage to your cornea (the clear dome on the front of the eye) uveitis (inflammation to eye tissues behind the cornea) glaucoma (increased pressure inside the eye) cataracts. several medicines are helpful in treating herpes zoster eye infections. acyclovir is an antiviral medicine that greatly limits the effects of the virus and helps reduce complications. this medicine is most effective when started as soon as the first symptoms appear. steroids can sometimes be used to reduce eye inflammation. antibiotics prevent infection from other organisms that may get in your eyes while you have herpes zoster. painkillers (such as acetaminophen) and lubricating eye drops may lessen your pain. medicines for glaucoma help keep the pressure in your eye at normal levels. blisters dry up and form scabs about 5 days after they appear. you may develop permanent scars and longstanding pain numbness or skin discoloration. if your cornea is affected it can become permanently scarred. early treatment with acyclovir lessens the effects of the varicella-zoster virus and can sometimes prevent serious complications. shingles can be recurring problem. his sounds very similar ti what you say? so do hope this helps you. good luck
