I have an appt with my opthamologist today...last time I saw him I didn't have a LD dx.

My vision symptoms have been vast...

double vision is improving

Lazy eye is improving

vison vibrations are improving

Blurring in and out is improving

Eyes focussing at 2 different depths is improving

Reading vision is not improving

Light perception is not improving...this is a big one for me...I can't see well in low light, and at night, and in overcast weather.

The last time I was at Drs office he gave me a stronger rx for night lenses in my glasses.

Anyone have any info on vision and LD?

Looking for knowledge to ask educated question to my Dr.

Of course it would have been good to ask before today.

Thanks for your quick replies!

If you take Plaquenil, tell your eye doctor. They will need to test your range of vision.

My eye doctor knows little to nothing about Lyme. When I mentioned problems, he said it was almost impossible to tell what the cause was since I was on so many meds.

Joanne...that info is great, My opthalmolgist is unfamiliar with lyme, so I will print that out and mail it to him for next time, or the next pt.
Deb, my babs test was -, but my pcp, who had ld also suggested that maybe I have babs anyway.

Vision is still blurred, almost 20/20. Dr doesn't want to increase rx because it disturbs my cranial rhythum, and creates too much pressure, he said.
He did a visual field type of test and found a sort of vague blind spot in my left eye sight. I guess I'll have to watch that.
