If you have had shingles of the eye, please consider getting a long-term prescription for valacyclovir (Valtrex). It is cheap and appears to provide protection against another bout of shingles, which likely will hit your eye worse. There is no good way to fix the eye damage, unfortunately.

Additionally, consider getting the shingles vaccine.

I’ve had 3 friends get shingles in their optic nerve.

I got the Vax.
