PB4, what are your symptoms, I'm unfamiliar with this. That said, my sister has had a dx of damage of the retina. She has a ton fewer sx than me, but her few are significant.
Just curious

<<<<< PB4 >>>>>,
My Hubby, TxC', who has not yet been diagnosed w/Lyme and Co.'[ tho' we are very suspcious], had a mid vein occlusion in the back of his rt. eye in '07 [ also called a stroke of the eye].
Bartonella, a co-infection, can also cause eye issues...tho I am not sure about occlusions.
If memory serves, somewhere on one of the symptoms lists,for Lyme,I think?,Arterial occlusions of the eye are mentioned. So we kinda figure that this can be a result of Lyme or a co-infection... tho' we are not positive!!!
Hopefully more folk who are up on eye symptoms will be along in a bit w/ better info'.
Please take care of yourself and keep w/in a Drs. care!!!
Jus' the Silverwolfi

Hello Everyone- Sorry, I was away from the computer for a while.
C3MOM, the symptoms for me have been waking up
one morning thinking there was something on my
eye. It was like there was a blob of paint. I
could see all the way around it, but not through
it.
I went to a retina specialist last week and
I was able to see the pictures they took of the
inside of my eye. It looked like something had
exploded in there. The diagnostic things they
can do are incredible! He said there was a 30%
chance it would resolve on its own.Silverwolf-
what happened with your husband.Did it get
better? Did they do something?
Thanks, PB

Hi there <<<<< PB4 >>>>>,
Unfortunately,after treatment and starting to get better, hubby had a pressure problem manifesting as a severe migraine...that was misdiagnosed as -trigeminal neuralgia-,by a local ER Dr in the area where we were living.
The Dr. misdiagnosed my hubby, even after he brought a medical sheet explaining the various medical issues he has,and the most recent readings on his eye,the DX and so on.
He is now blind in that eye...but...that was from a misdiagnosis. Before the misdiagnosis,he had regained some sight and could see the numbers on a larger clock.
If you get any harsh unusual headaches during or after treatments...have the eye pressure checked as soon as possible.Proper medicine/treatment to lower the pressure would have saved TxC'/hubby's eyesight in the rt.eye.
Eye sight is very precious...so listen to your Drs. and follow their directions as best as is possible!!!
Just Silverwolfi here!
