Ans Herpes zoster ophthalmicus is a medical emergency. This HHV-3, also known as varicella zoster virus(VZV), infection involves the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve and accounts for 10-25% of all cases of shingles. The reactivated VZV may travel down the ophthalmic division of the nasocillary nerve (Hutchinson sign), which innervates the tip of the nose and surface of the globe of the eye.
