Wow, I can’t imagine shingles in the eye. Was it actually in the eyeball or surrounding your eye?
I had one small patch flare-up of shingles decades ago and it was awful. I think I got the first vaccine, then Shingrix not long after it was introduced (but maybe I’m confusing that with the change-over in pneumonia vaccines).
“Was it actually in the eyeball or surrounding your eye?”
In the eye. Increasing tunnel vision and sensitivity to light.
Started on a Saturday. Sunday my wife drove the 350 miles back home. At the GP office when they opened up.
He got me right in. On seeing me he called an Ophthalmologist to check if they had the drugs needed. Thirty minutes later I was being treated.
I had a weeks-long bout with shingles in the scalp above my eye, but after the initial pain it didn’t hurt. (Was sensitive to touch).
It affected my eye, which caused more grief.
