Abstract

Herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) is a severe viral infection affecting the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve, with potential ocular complications leading to significant visual impairment. This retrospective study aims to investigate the ocular involvement and visual outcomes of patients with HZO attending a tertiary care center. The medical records of 250 patients diagnosed with HZO over a five-year period were analyzed to gather demographic data, clinical features, and visual outcomes. Ocular involvement was assessed in terms of anterior segment involvement, corneal complications, uveitis, and optic nerve inflammation. Visual outcomes were measured using best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at presentation and follow-up visits. The study's findings provide valuable insights into the ocular manifestations of HZO and the factors influencing visual prognosis, contributing to enhanced management strategies and improved visual outcomes for HZO patients.
