Just wondering if anyone has had problems with their eyes with lyme?
I suspect I may have lyme and have had, among numerous other lyme symptoms, frequent red eyes, DRY eyes,(mostly at night, but now during the day, too) and I've had 2 styes on my eyelids now for about 3 months. It won't go away!! It's not on the edge of the eyelid, but the mid eyelid itself. I've also had vision problems, but the eye doc says I have astygmatism. Anyone?

yes i have horrible problems with my eyes...got a million floaters and double vision..i have something else that i call "tracking vision" which is really annoying and hard to explain...im going to an opthomologist on friday but i don't know how much help thats going to be, its worth a shot.

Ive had lyme going on 3 yrs...a year and a half undiagnosed...it sucks im 19 yrs old. got bad neuro symptoms...blah. I can relate with the eye thing though

Have you had any other symptoms of Lyme besides the eye problems. This by itself is not enough to go on to make a diagnosis.

Suggest you repost your question under title something like "Newbie - Do you think I have Lyme?" Try to list your symptoms in more detail and someone will be along to help you.

Hi and WELCOME! Get a LLMD or at least Dr that is willing to learn about lyme. "Lyme literacy" means, first and
foremost, knowing how to diagnose the disease accurately. Borrelia Burgdorferi is a clinical diagnosis, based on symptoms and on your response to treatment. Good Luck, bumpy road ahead.

Sebastian,

Many have eye problems including myself. Could be Lyme, Bartonella or non related.

If you still suspect Lyme, I would make an appt. with an LLMD. Do you still have the list of LLMDs Treepatrol e-mailed you a couple of months ago?
Another good indication would be the symptom list that Janet Thomas referred you to.

It is a very good resource. If you believe there is a strong possibility of Lyme, I would not delay making an appt.. ASAP
Good Luck and keep us updated. This is a good place for support if you need it.

I have blurred vision sometimes, but my main problem is with focusing. My weak eye wanders out to the corner and I have to work hard to get it back so I can see in proper focus. Reading gives me terrible headaches.

i have tons of "lyme" floaters that developed after i started abx treatment.
if i squint with a light backrond i can make out the shape of each one of them. it looks like looking into a microscope. totally freaked me out when it first started. used to it now. i didnt have the floaters until the 3rd day of my first antibiotic treatment. i think they went straight to my eyes as soon as i started taking antibiotics. the eyes are one of the most protected parts of the body they can invade. i have gotten somewhat better off antibiotics but floaters have gotten worse. no blurred vision on my end though.

Posted by mtnwoman (Member # 8385) on :
 
I began with more floaters, then dry eyes upon awakening, then a conjunctivitis bilaterally that comes back despite several treatments with topical antibiotic eye drops.

My eye doc has given up treating it, which is fine cuz it doesn't hurt. I presume that with systemic therapy and eradication of Bb, the conjunctivitis will eventually go.

No styes (I think that is a more local bacterial infection)
 
Posted by Semi-Retired (Member # 7722) on :
 
Sebastian,

Good idea to see a LLMD to get tested. I developed dry, sore eyes about 2+ years after my symptoms became prominent. I don't have floaters but my vision has also changed for the worse. I use OTC "Refresh Plus" drops but will be seeing an Opthamologist(sp) in a couple weeks to see about Restasis, a relatively new med to help with dry/sore eyes. Good luck,

Tim
