The patient was not currently employed but stated that she did not think she would have been able to work due to how horrible she felt. It was 5 to 7 days before patient felt better from the reporting date. The reporter wanted to found out if Shingrix could cause change in vision, as per package Insert: optic ischemic neuropathy was reported in 3 subjects (0.02 percent) who received Shingrix (all within 50 days after vaccination) and 0 subjects who received placebo; available information was insufficient to determine a causal relationship with Shingrix. The reporter would like someone from GlaxoSmithKline to contact her new eye doctor.
