I had shingles at age 40 over my eye. I thought I had pinkeye, but it got worse, and doctor said it was shingles. He gave me an antibiotic because he was afraid it would cause me to go blind in that eye. It all started out with worse headache ever and I had two red pimple looking lesions above eye and eye was red and watery. I was off work for over a week, and the lesions left scars that looked like chicken pox scars. I never want to experience that again.
