Subject: Exactly how does the chicken pox virus damage nerves & tissues?

A couple of years ago, I got a really bad case of shingles in my 
left eye, which left a scar on the cornea.  I'm wondering about 
the "mechanics" of the virus that caused that to happen.  I can 
still see out of that eye, although when I look at a light 
surrounded by total darkness, the light looks like a partial 
eclipse because of the scarring.
