I recently noticed onsent of double vision.
It's constant, but it's very slight and only really noticable at times. It's in BOTH eyes and does not go away when I close one eye. I have also been on Ketek for about 2-3 months and I read that diplopia (double vision) is one of the side effects.
I DO have other vision problems that started before the ketek (reduced acuity in the right eye, bad floaters, ect) so I don't know whether to blame lyme, ketek or something else for the vision problem. The doubling isn't complete. I just see part of like a ghost image standing in back of the image. It's usually noticable most if the object is bright and also road signs (especially at night). Any leads? Anyone experiencing similar?

Hello there, I have had double near vision since jan 03. I have seen over 20 doctors in 2 years and just started my treatment 28 days ago. I have found with the Ketek, on some days I could not accomodate at all and the world was a total blur but then the next day I would be back to "my normal" basically I have to make myself cross-eyed to see single (only in my near vision) Drives me crazy and I am wondering if anyone else has this and if it went away with treatment??
