hi, it seems i have developed a floater in my right eye recently. (thank you lyme- the gift that keeps on giving) its this one black dot that looks like #*&$# little gnat flying around my periphery. it never goes away. very annoying when you concentrate too much on it.
the other thing that is interesting is that against a white backround there is the permenent shadow of the sprial little worm looking thing (looks like a keet). just one. it moves around with the floater. is this a weird coincidence or what?
assuming this is from lyme has anyone ever had floaters from lyme to later have them go away? what abx are recommended if floaters are present.
i value my sight very much and dont want things to get any worse. should i call my llmd about it? is there anything i can do?
regards, electric

I have a lots of them ,there are propably not direct cause of lyme ,but because of Your weak defence system and other eye inflammations in Yours eyes. The have even special name ,i don`t know how it will be spelled in english. This is not treatable ,you can minimaze this dots byc taking some black berry pills as i remember ,tell to your eye doctor

Electric,
Get yourself checked out by an eye doctor - my dad just had something similar and his is PVD - posterior vitreous detachment. He is not allowed to do anything jarring or any heavy lifting.
Not everything is Lyme - have it checked out and measured so that you can be sure.
