Abstract

Herpes zoster ophthalmicus is a manifestation of herpes zoster infection, typically with eye symptoms. We report a case of herpes zoster ophthalmicus in a patient who had recently received the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. There have been other case reports of HZO in patients who recently got the same vaccine.
