Ophthalmic shingles: when the varicella virus reactivates in adulthood

by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

Treatment

In terms of treatment, it consists of taking orally antiviral valaciclovir Zelitrex, an antiviral active on viruses of the herpes group, for at least two weeks. Against pain, it is possible to take analgesics and for skin damage, the ophthalmologist can prescribe an ophthalmic ointment.

Finally, following shingles, it is better to go to the ophthalmologist for a check-up in the following months to ensure that everything is back to normal and that your eyes have no sequelae, concludes Dr. Qin.
