Article Synopsis
- Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus (HZO) is increasingly affecting younger individuals, particularly those under 40 years old, which raises questions about its rising incidence in this demographic.
- A review of 56 relevant patient records showed that conjunctivitis is the most common symptom, while other eye conditions like keratitis and uveitis are also prevalent among HZO patients.
- Factors such as immune status, diet, environment, and vaccination history are contributing to the increasing trend of HZO in younger populations, highlighting the need for improved patient care and public health strategies.
