My doctor does not believe that Lyme disease can be the cause of my eye infection. I have had a stye in my left eye since June and my eye is now getting more swollen, more red and very itchy.
I am on IV Rocephin for the Lyme (treating now into my 4th month of abx in total) and tobramycin for my eye for last 2-3 weeks but my eye is not getting better. Anyone know how Lyme disease effects the eye (just my left eye)?
