Hi all:

I have been experiencing a rapid decline in my vision, and an optometrist said that I have swollen optic nerves which may indicate optic neuritis.

Can anyone recommend an opthalmologist in northern Virginia (or DC/MD) who is Lyme literate?

Thank you!

I don't know of any LL Ophthalmologists in VA/DC/MD. Sent you a name for CT, if you are able to travel.

I was told there is also one in PA, but I don't have the name or info. Contact www.lymepa.org for it.

Check the online state Lyme groups at:
