Dr. Cameron feels that the best way to get to know Lyme disease is through reviewing actual cases. In this Inside Lyme Podcast episode, he will be discussing a 46-year-old woman with Lyme disease with bilateral vision loss.

Jha and her colleague first discussed this case in the Wisconsin Medical Journal in 2018.

An ophthalmologic exam confirmed the optometrist finding of optic neuritis. Optic neuritis is an inflammation of the optic nerve. She also had am impaired color vision in both eyes,

Her vision loss was significant. Legal blindness is defined as having a visual acuity of 20/200 or worse in the better eye after correction. Her visual acuity was 20/400 in both eyes. 

“Upon questioning, she endorsed some improvement in vision after initiation of antibiotic,” write the authors.

But the final outcome was uncertain since the woman left the hospital against medical advice and did not adhere to her follow-up appointments.
