I have seen the doctor. i am taking prescribed eye drops 3 times a day (starts w/ the letter V). It seems to be working. My eye hasn't crusted but the swelling has gone down significantly and there's less pain. If it doesn't crust at all, how do I know when I can play sports again? When I have no pain?
If I get hit in the eye, is it true that I have a higher chance of permanent damage simply due to the fact that I had shingles in the eye & it's weaker now?
You need to see a doctor. This is very unusual.
