Guest guest Posted May 4, 2000 Report Share Posted May 4, 2000 I read a post recently from someone wanting info about eye problems and Lyme. i am sorry, but i am really not able to respond properly, due to my constant brain fog. i usually forget the names of people in the group and have a hard time replying to emails. I want to share this with all of you because i think its something we all suffer from.. i went to the optomologist today and told him of my eye pain and the itchy sand like feeling i get in my eyes. and i told him my eyes hurt. i also told him i have lyme disease and many others with this disease have this problem... of course he is not LL, and he diagnosed dry eye syndrome. and gave me eye drops. he advised minor surgery, but from what i have read it may not be worth it. He of course said it had nothing to due with lyme, but was because of aging! i am 45, but I know many young lymies with this problem, so i am sure it has nothing to do with age. i found this web site about dry eye syndrome and it discribes it to a t. of course it says nothing about lyme causing this syndrome, but dose mention other diseases that may cause it. Dry eyes need attention and can be helped by over the counter eye drops. the sample he gave me is called " refresh tears " lubricant eye drops. http://www.eri.harvard.edu/htmlfiles/dryeye.html hope this helps roe __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
