Had Lyme Disease, Left Eye Cleansing Required Constantly, It Itches All Time. What Can I Do ?
I have had Lyme Disease since 2005. Most issues have resolved except for my left eye, which needs cleansing at least twice a day. I am constantly getting hair, globs of junk, and scabs out of my eye...sometimes from behind it. It itches all of the time and, in December of 2011, after a series of migraines, I lost the functional vision in the left eye after receiving a steroind-based injection in the ER. What can I do?

HI.
Lyme disease affecting the eyes is uncommon but can occur in the form of red eye or inflammation which may decrease the eye sight. You can verify with your doctor whether there is any reactivation of infection.
Migraine will not cause any functional vision loss. Your lost eye sight in left eye could be a sequel of disease process for which the steroid injection could have been given..
Hope you are relieved of your queries..
Take care..
