I too have floaters. They are still present, but I have not healed, so my answer may not be worth much ;)

I also have eye floaters-some days more than others. I'm not much help in answering your question but was wondering what they actually are?

I have no idea what they are. What I do know is that they are annoying!!

Yes VERY VERY annoying and scary!! Your symptons seem like they started around the same time as me. Mine started in May 2016 after being bitten. I knew it was Lyme from the start but no one would believe me of course.

Yeah my symptoms hit super hard in February. I'm assuming I had it much longer since ticks are rarely out in the winter here in NJ. So I definitely got infected way before February. Ugh. All this stinks

Yes so many floaters, they went away when I was on antibiotics but I had to discontinue due to side effects. I just started herbal treatment 2 days ago, so we'll see if they go away again.

So to answer your question, yes they went away for me, but came back due to early termination of my treatment.

For me, the floaters were actually blood that was leaking from one of the blood vessels in the eye. My Ophthalmologist did some tests and found a number of issues in my right eye, the one with the floaters.

After injecting it with a medicine to stop the bleeding, the floaters went away within a day or so. A few weeks later the floaters came back and the doctor found that the eye had started to leak again.

I would recommend that you see an Ophthalmologist just to make sure that your eyes are OK.

I've had goofy things with my right eye for years. The
Treatment for Bart seems to have helped diminish them and the weird 'lariat' shaped floater I seem to notice less.

it's called angiogenesis and linked to bartonella
/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC529148/

blood vessels grow more than they should because they have a tissue type where bart likes to live in (the interior of the blood vessels is a special "skin" called endothelium) so bart stimulates growth of more tiny blood vessels so it can have more places to live. isn't it cool to be able to talk to your house and it will magically grow as your family grows ? :|

tell your ophthalmologist to read up on bartonella. they love to be told they don't know things, she will hate you smile

Hey guys I found this:


/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_uveitis


It says:


Infectious causes of intermediate uveitis include Epstein-Barr virus infection, Lyme disease, HTLV-1 virus infection, cat scratch disease, and hepatitis C.



And:



Clinical signs include redness of the eye, pain, blurring of vision, photophobia and floaters.

Nice find on article!

Thanks! I was glad I found it, now we finally have a name for it. It seems like it can go away if you get rid of the infection (Lyme). So that must have been what happened when I was on antibiotics.
