Weird vision- lyme?

[Sunshine989]

I am getting weirded out by my symptoms an have to ask if this sounds like lyme or anyone else have this problem.
Started slowly getting worse after the last two months. When I look at my cell phone and am scrolling through things, images/words are blurring. I actually get a wave of dizziness that comes and goes too. Used to be once in a while, now almost everytime I use my phone.
Does anyone's 'brain fog'  just feel like you feel a little of balance? I don't know if it is brain fog or what- but when it comes on, most of the thine it's around 3pm and my body feels fine. It's just my head. It feels as though I took a sleeping pill and can't get it out if my system.
Thank you for anyone that responds

That's a good question!  I don't know the answer or have read any information on that, since my ophthalmologist was on top of the whole thing -- he said I was okay, and he kept an 'eye' on me till my treatment was over, and all stayed well.  Maybe I was just lucky to get a Lyme-aware eye doc.  A second opinion never hurts, except maybe a bit in the wallet.  But better to know than not.  

I can't tell from your post if you have a Lyme doc already, but if not, I would get one and branch out from there to an ophthalmologist.  In other words, I would guess that an ophthalmologist likely would not treat you for Lyme overall, but instead keeps track of your progress against Lyme generally and how your eyes are or are not affected.  That is, I would think the ophthalmologist would not be the captain of the ship -- the Lyme doc would likely perform that function, and then the eye doc plugs in with the eye aspects.  

But that's up to the docs to decide between them -- but really:  go see the eye doc.  Don't wait.

Thank you for your replies. I had gone to an ophthalmology twice because I started noticing changes in my eyes. One of them being floaters. A lot of them. He did confirm the presence of one big floater but no other issues. He was really patient and listened to my concerns but maybe it is time to get a second opinion.
Is it possible it is not my eyes that are the problem but it affecting my brain and in turn it distorting how I am visualizing stuff?

Of all the docs I saw when I was trying to get diagnosed and then treated for what turned out to be Lyme and babesia, the one doc who took Lyme the most seriously (other than my Lyme doc) was the ophthalmologist -- an MD who specializes in eyes, and *not* an optometrist or optician.  

Who knew!  I had gotten so used to downplaying the fact that I had Lyme and was being treated for it when I saw other docs (like my gynecologist) that I just automatically went into an apologetic crouch when I would tell these other docs that I had Lyme and babesiosis and was on such-and-so medication for it.  The ophthalmologist was totally tuned in.  

It turned out I didn't have any eye problems from Lyme, but I would definitely see a ophthalmologist if I were in your situation --  and I would do it asap, since you are having some vision issues.  If for some reason the ophthalmologist you see blows it off, see another one.  Let us know how it goes, okay?

LYME and some co-infections can affect your sight. I had to go to a retina specialist to get some relief.
