Hello -

I see in a few places people can experience blurry vision and pink eye like symptoms - is this common for people with Lyme, and is it constant, or intermittent?

I just got diagnosed with Lyme this past week, and I have a scheduled PRK (laser) on my eyes in 10 days - I am considering cancelling it now - Any thoughts / Suggestions -

I have had blurred vision from the beginning. I think it might be neurological because it fluctuates from day to day, and the more I use my eyes, the worse it seems to be.
I had 8 different prescription changes in one summer and the final one didn't do it. I still can't see well out of my current glasses!
You might want to wait a bit until you've been on abx for a few months. Or, ask your LLMD.

You're considering laser eye surgery? is that what PKR means?

I highly recommend against that seeing as to how your vision may be changing during/post treatment.

Jmo though. not trying to scare you
