Hello,

Does anyone know if eye problems are common with bart? I know they are very common with Lyme. More specifically blurry vision, eye floaters, eye twitches, burning red eyes, light sensitivity?

Is there anything that helps with these symptoms?

Yes bart can cause eye problems.

Here's a couple of links:

Anyone else get these eye floaters and twitching eye lids?

Would it make sense to get my eyes checked out under the darkfield microscope? Would the doc actually be able to view the spirochetes and the bartonella floating around?

And what kind of eye drops should I use to get rid of these eye related symptoms? Thanks!

Yes, to all the symptoms you described. I have difficulty seeing when driving. I understand that treatment will alleviate these issues. Buhner recommends Stephanie for eye issues.

I don’t think the eye doc will be able to see Lyme spirochetes and Bart floating around in your eyes.

I think it would be a good idea to get an eye exam including a visual fields test done.

Na, eye docs dont see anything, have many many eye problems, all the symptoms described for many years.
Went to a few eye docs and they all sent me packing with no findings. So eventually accepted it as normal aging (until I recently found the Bart)
It seems to be Bart related as I have both B Henselea and Quintana.
ABX helped massively with the light sensitivity, but turned out that was the Bart affecting my cognitive function (encephelitis I believe).

Just to be clear though, I would still advise you go through the usual checks with an eye doc in case it is unrelated!

Yes, like summer16 said the herbal tincture , Stephania is recommended by Buhner for eye issues and besides taking internally can be used as a eye wash.

I highly recommend doing your own research on any herbal . Check for side effects and contradictions.I would make sure about the proper formula/recipe for the eye wash before using



I have been treating for two years but more specifically one year for bartonella and almost all my vision issue symptoms are resolved.

I had twitching, light sensitivity, problems with eyes adjusting from light to dark, cloudy gray areas in lower field of vision and white and dark bar that came down across field of vision.

Take care and I hope you get relief soon from these symptoms.
