Lyme Disease Symptoms and Signs

Soreness of the eyes. Lyme disease can directly affect the eyes and cause inflammation. This includes fairly severe swelling and a fairly bloodshot look to the eyes. Vision is also affected, causing some people to see double. In other cases, the vision can be blurred. Note that if there is an itch, this is an indication that the inflammation is not caused by Lyme disease, but is possibly an allergic reaction.
