Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of herpes zoster ophthalmicus. Case:A 77-year-old woman presented with difficulty in keeping the left eye open since the day before. She was diagnosed with herpes zoster. She was treated by intravenous acyclovir and topical instillation of dexamethasone. Corneal edema appeared after herpes zoster alleviated 4 days later. It became apparent that she was not using eyedrops altogether, leading to the discovery that she had dementia and that she was living alone. Treatment by visiting nurse was started. Corneal edema improved 12 days after her initial visit. Conclusion:This case illustrates the difficulty in diagnosis and treatment when the patient has dementia and is living alone. There is an urgent need of comprehensive care for each district.
