description	This paper reports cases of Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus (HZO) seen in 10 Nigerian adults at the Eye clinic of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH), Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria, some of whom tested positive to HIV infection using ELISA method with confirmation using the Western blot test. There were 6 female and 4 male patients. Five (50%) of the patients tested positive for HIV. A high index of suspicion should be maintained among Ophthalmologists when confronted with patients with HZO who are healthy looking.
