Are we seeing Lyme disease before our eyes?
A very good question. While exploring various threads related to this disease, I came across an incredible YouTube series, “Lyme under microscope”, and a post on the website of the Dr. E. Murakami Centre for Lyme Research, Education & Assistance Society, discussing vision disturbances caused by Lyme disease.
Ernie Murakami:
“Clumping of spirochetes in the eyes is the most likely cause of ‘floaters’ experienced by Lyme patients. A single Borrelia burgdorferi or a few spirochetes would not be visible to the naked eye.”
Beverly Lancaster:
“When you close your eyes at night to sleep, it seems like you can actually see the movement. It’s kind of like the motion inside a lava lamp, but in a dark fluid.”
Ardyth Chambers:
“I’ve had chronic Lyme for years and I didn’t know that was why I so often had floaters… I’m still learning new things about Lyme disease—amazing!”
Before Our Eyes?
In the scientific work Lyme Disease as a Complex Diagnostic Challenge, case no. 5 mentions periodic blurred vision issues. Could Lyme disease be the cause?
