What Causes Pressure, Pain, Redness In Eyes When Had Chronic Lyme Treatment?

I have diagnosed with chronic Lyme and have relapsed after being treated for a year and then taking myself all antibiotics. This time around I have a lot of pain in my eyes. I have been to many eye doctors who say that the pressure is up somewhat in one eye and they put me on drops. My eyes are red and hurt. I am also on Biaxin. Am I risking my sight? Should I be doing more?
