It sounds as if it is a brain/neuro thing... but I am not a doctor.
I would look at black letters on a white page and when getting about mid way in a sentence the words would sort of melt and curve downward on the page.. like they were melting off the edges.
I don't know if what you are experiencing is a brain/neuro thing... but maybe your LLMD could answer that question?
When I am having a bad day ,words on a page seem to move to the center and get all jumbled up.
That is something that never really went away,I still ahave a very hard time reading,or remembering what I read. I am sure it is brain damage,but life goes on and so will I.
I hope it clears up for You. be as well as You can be appleseed

I have a lot of weird visual issues as well.
I just generally have trouble focusing, I see things that look like pulsating disco balls, lots of floaters, and my right pupil dilates abnormally.
Same as you, the eye doctors say I'm fine, I've had MRI's and CT scans, been checked for retinal detachment, macular degeneration and MS--all normal.
Someone on here had suggested mangosteen juice for visual issues.
I haven't gotten around to getting any because of finances right now, but you might check into that.

Surruh,
What you describe is not at all strange. I have that and more. Eye doctors cannot see all that is happening and much can happen with the brain messages from eyes
AND the EARS play into this, too. Much of what you mention can also indicated some inner and middle ear involvement which is common with lyme.
also - the nerves may simply be too tired or irritated - or swollen.
Magnesium should help calm down over excited neuro signals. Fish oil can soothe the nerve fibers and anti-oxidants can also help.
I'll come back later with some links but have to rest now.

I have the letters of print seem to melt and wiggle thing, really bad black stringy floaters, strange flashes of light, floating black dots, and sometimes things look blurry like looking at the top of a road on a hot day.
The eye doctor told me I had 20/20.

I have same problem. Double vision where the second "ghost" image is just below the other. Sometimes it will be to the side. Sometimes just blurry. This after 9 mos. of abx. Vision has gotten worse even as some other symptoms have improved.
-------------------- Sick since at least age 6, now 67. Decades of misdiagnosis. Numerous arthritic, neuro, psych, vision, cardiac symptoms. Been treating for 7 years, incl 8 mos on IV. Bart was missed so now treating that. Posts: 765 | From nw ct | Registered: Sep 2008

one thing to keep in mind is that your eyes themselves may be healthy and disease free...but your vision may be affected.
i saw my fair share of eye doctors who kept firing me because they said my "eyes were fine" adn i insisted that they were wrong because i knew soemthing WAS wrong.
Finally i found an opthalmologist who figured out within 5min that my problem with with my vision (and he said it was from lyme).
Now i have dyslexia, convergence insufficency, double vision, blurr vision, dry eyes etc. I started vision thearpy but had to stop because i had neurological problems taht made the eye therapy kind of ineffective. but i'll return when the neuro stuff subsides (IF it subsides).
so if your eye doctors didn't do any tests or examination for any vision disorders, you might want to find a vision therapist who you can ask to do vision testing...not eyesight testing. my testing took about an hour with a ton of (frustrating) tests.
hope this helps.

Yes, I had a lot of these eye symptoms - the floating images, blurred vision, floaters, eye muscle pain, plus light sensitivity.
When I drank mangosteen juice, an anti-inflammatory juice, symptoms cleared up in 24 hours! Now that's fast!
If you try it, drink a little, as it can be powerful, and also drink a lot of water too.
You can get various brands in healthfood stores, online (I get the Ultra mangosteen one from vitacost -
it has 70 minerals added to it), and the strongest is Xango, sold multilevel.
I also perfectly passed a neuro-opth exam just before I started the juice, even tho he had to anesthetize my eyes for me to even look at light.
Just goes to show that our inflammatory eye problems don't necessarily show up on standard eye tests.
