Herpes Zoster (Shingles)

If you ever had chickenpox, you’re at higher risk of developing shingles later in life. Shingles can affect many parts of the body. If it travels to your eyes, your cornea can become inflamed and even scarred. Corneal damage might not be apparent until months after the shingles have otherwise disappeared.

Ocular Herpes

The herpes simplex virus can cause recurring flare-ups of herpes in the eye. People who suffer from ocular herpes may notice painful sores on the eyelid or the eye’s surface, or an inflamed cornea. Untreated, it can lead to blindness.

Reviews From Our Satisfied Patients

  • "Mac Donald Eye Care is a great practice! Dr. Mac Donald is so caring and professional--a really good eye doctor and good person. I come to her practice from McLean, passing many other offices to come to the best!"
    Kathy V. - Arlington, VA
  • "We took our twin 14-year-old sons to MacDonald Eye Care based on the excellent reviews here and elsewhere. The reviews are on the mark. Dr. MacDonald and her staff are very friendly and very patient. They really could not be nicer. Dr. MacDonald took her time fitting contact lenses for the boys and made sure they were comfortable putting them in and taking them out before leaving her office. Very highly recommended!"
