Shengles in the eye

Asked for Female, 65 Years

My mother had shengles in the eye almost year ago, we took her to opthmalogist and she was treated. As per the doctors suggestion we consulted him after a few days. This time she had post shingles complication, she still had virus in the eye. It got cleared after medication (Glatiquin P & Ganciclovir gel) and came back. Will it ever be cleared permanently? What is the effective treatment?
