Hi All:

I've read in various places that the Lyme bacteria have an affinity for the eyes and can cause eye issues. Has anyone had PARTICULAR experience with (recurrent) chalazions--cysts on the inner eyelid--that were connected specifically to Lyme?

Thanks!

I have had eye issues from lyme but no cysts. I believe lyme can cause just about anything as it is a bacteria that tends to settle in where there are weakens in your body.
