Herpes Zoster (Shingles)

If you ever had chickenpox, you’re at higher risk of developing shingles later in life. Shingles can affect many parts of the body. If it travels to your eyes, your cornea can become inflamed and even scarred. Corneal damage might not be apparent until months after the shingles have otherwise disappeared.

Ocular Herpes

The herpes simplex virus can cause recurring flare-ups of herpes in the eye. People who suffer from ocular herpes may notice painful sores on the eyelid or the eye’s surface, or an inflamed cornea. Untreated, it can lead to blindness.

Testimonial

Reviews From Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I took my kids to Harron Eye Care for an eye exam and the care we received was excellent. The staff was super friendly and helpful, we were seen very promptly, and Dr. Harron was great. He explained things wonderfully and was great with my children. I will definitely be returning for our family's eye care needs"
