Not that he or anyone had a clue that he'd had a shingles outbreak in his eye.
That is scary...shingles can cause blindness. I have a friend who had it on her face and has scarring--she's just glad it never spread to her eyes. My MIL's ex-bf was recently hospitalized for shingles all over his face and scalp. Scary stuff.
