  • Title: Herpes zoster and the aging eye.
    Author: Weingeist TA.
    Journal: Geriatrics; 1981 Jan; 36(1):81-90. PubMed ID: 6969681.
    Abstract:
    Although most patients with herpes zoster are otherwise healthy, all should be screened for occult neoplastic disease. Treatment is frustrating and nonspecific. Postherpetic neuralgia is especially difficult to manage and tends to be more severe among geriatric patients. All patients with trigeminal nerve involvement should be referred to an ophthalmologist for evaluation and possible treatment of ocular complications.
