Can Dehydration Cause For Shaky Vision?
My vision is shaky. It feel like my eyes are jumping around. Could this be from dehydration? I have/had Lyme disease, and have just ended antibiotic therapy that lasted for 3 years. Unconventional, but it worked. I was sick for 7 years before I finally got the right diagnosis and treatment.

Hello
Shaking vision and jumping eyes indicate nystagmus.
Nystagmus is caused by central neurological causes or peripheral causes involving the vestibular apparatus.
Since you give history of Lyme disease also in the past I advice you to consult your doctor for examination to find out the underlying neurological cause and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
