Ill try to explain the best I can. My vision feels dim as though I am looking through a pair of lightly tinted black sun glasses, but I am not. Kind of like when one is going to pass out, vision darkens, but not nearly that bad.
Also have had achiness on parts of my head. MRI shows everything fine.
Not sure what is happening, but am very concerned. It cleared up when I was on IV antibiotics, but after being off for a couple months on orals, it has returned.
If you have ever experienced this, I would very much appreciate your comments.

morning,
i can understand your sensation.
my vision was impaired for a month or two on and off. it is sometimes hard to read and comprehend too.
its scary. my llmd claims that lyme can hop onto the optic nerve.
not fun!

I have had dim vision for years. Now that I am diagnosed with Lyme and cos. I am convinced they are responsible.
I understand what you mean about looking through sunglasses. To me lights are never bright enough. I need several on to make the room brightness comfortable.
Another weird thing that has been happening to me is sort of related, I think. I have a difficult time distinguishing black and dark-colored cars from the asphalt on the road.
In addition, I have constant blurry vision. It seems like I am looking through a film.

If it persists and they find nothing, it may be what my situatin is, I have heavy metals and chemicals behing my eyes.
They are being addressed with bilberry now with my ND. Also doing the AI drops, which is passing toxins though my eyes.
The bilberry is helping...but suggest you go to an eye Dr. to see if it is something else to address.

Yes, I have all kinds of visual issues, including blurriness, flashes of light, floaters, eye pain/pressure, tearing, and sometimes feeling like I'm looking through a film.
The eye doctor has tested me for MS, retinal detachment and macular degeneration, along with the usual stuff, and finds nothing.
My LLMD says Lyme can affect the eyes, but he doesn't know what to suggest.
