I was catching up on my reading when I read in a post about bugs swimming in eyes!!! AHHH!
I have had floaters (that is was doc and eye doc called them) for MANY years and have gotten worse with allergies and eye infections.
My eyes have this discharge - mostly clear sometimes yellow tothe point that I can rarely wear my contacts anymore and I think that I see things that really arent there. Esp. when driving at nite.
Is my brain really leaking?????

For what it's worth, you could try drinking some mangosteen juice. I stopped all eye symptoms by drinking it. I drink the Ultra brand, and there are lots of brands out there. Drink it with a lot of water. The juice is powerful. It's an anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory juice. Cleared up all eye symptoms in 24 hours. Grounded all flying sp-eye-rochetes...

You should always report new eye symptoms to your eye doctor. Floaters, if you had them before lyme, are probably just a continuation of what you have and shouldn't cause external discharge. Call your eye doctor, for sure.

I've seen a Neuro-Opthamologist because of my eye symptoms. He told me the following:
Lyme does cause increased floaters and can cause blindness.
Lyme spiroketes love to live in the fluid-like matter that is in our eyes.
Oral antibiotics do not cross the blood-brain barrier, so the eyes would be an ideal place to live.
I have a sort double exposure vision when I herx. Like a photograph with a picture on top of a picture. My eraser (doctor's term) doesn't work right when I herx.
Also, I believe you - that you are seeing the spiroketes. I see them too at times. They do not look like floaters, but like a clearish squiggley little things. Hard to describe.
I see a lot of them at different layers in the matter in my eye. I don't always see them, but if the light is just so - I see them.

I have also seen little flicks of light that move and stop quickly and go in every direction. It was when I was looking into the bright sky, so I think I was seeing light reflected off the spyroketes.
The pattern of movement was the same as looking thru a microscope at some living, microscopic life.
This happened before I knew about lyme. I assumed I was seeing some tiny bugs in the air, because it never occured to me that it could be something inside my eyes. My husband couldn't see them, but remembers me describing it and trying to get him to see them. I thought the reason they were going such short distances before stopping was because they were hitting something like dust particles in the air.
I hope it never happens again, I'd freak out now knowing it's little viscious monsters inside my eyeballs!

I wouldn't presume to tell anyone what they may or may not perceive that they see BUT I would like to add my 2 cents in here. (with inflation I know that doesn't mean much )
There is also something that is called "Scheerer's phenomenon" or "blue field entoptic phenomenon".
This is basically the ability to see white blood cells traveling through in the squiggly capillaries of your retinas... especially when looking at a blue light. (like the sky)
When a leukocyte travels through.. it makes a wiggling motion. The link below is very interesting and even has an impression of this phenomenon.
