What is Shingles?

Shingles (Herpes Zoster) is a painful blistering skin rash caused by a reactivation of  the varicella-zoster virus VZV. Shingles rash on the face near the eye can cause vision loss and other neurological problems. About 1 in 10 people with Shingles develop nerve pain, called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) that does not go away for months or even years after the rash has resolved. In individuals with a weakened immune system, reactivation of VZV can be very serious and in some cases, life-threatening.
