Zoster ocular disease - what does this mean
Zoster ocular disease is an infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. it usually begins as a painful rash on the face, which can then spread to the eyes and cause inflammation, redness, and blurred vision. in some cases, it can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated promptly with antiviral medications.
What happens during the disease - zoster ocular disease
Zoster ocular disease is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is the same virus that causes chickenpox. it can be spread through contact with an infected person or through contact with a person’s saliva or mucous. after the initial infection, the virus can remain dormant in the nerve cells of the body for years. when the virus reactivates, it travels along the nerve fibers to the eye, causing inflammation and damage to the eye tissues. this can lead to vision loss, as well as other complications such as corneal scarring and glaucoma.
