Suggest Treatment For Shingles Infection In Eye
My mother has just gotten shingles in her left eye. I m to ld there is a possibility of an increased risk of stroke. Is that true? Sorry, I just buried Daddy in January, and I am only a para-educator receiving less than $15 an hour. We ll just have to go to a Dr. and hope insurance pays. Didn t mean to waste your time.

hi
thank you for asking your concern. there is no established study of shingles causing stroke unless some other disease are there like diabetes and hypertension, still shingles will not be the reason. shingles in eyes is an urgent kind of infection where you need to start antivirals within 72 hours.
i hope i answered your concern.
thank you
