The only issue I'm having now with shingles is minor pain and pressure in my left eye. Saw my eye doctor today, he didn't detect any issues with the eye, though I'll be back for another followup in two weeks.

Some physio chemical reading of “pressure”? Something medically recognized perhaps?
Also how old are you? Visual history? No Glaucoma, right? You have been tested I would assume.

Good luck on the nasty shingles.
