Hi,

I've had a long time off treating over the last month and a half because I over did it slightly with oils.

I've just started using the smallest amount treatment again, and I keep getting a build of pressure begins the eye

Even after so long off.

I've got blurred vision in my right eye and it's extremely scary. There feels like there is a load of pressure behind the eye

But this happens whether I have time off, or whether I treat....

Has anyone experienced blurred vision/pressure behind eye with Bartonella, and to what extent?

I last went to my opthalmologist a few months back and he has said everything is fine.

I don't what to do? Can someone reassure me?

Can I get as many replies as possible please because I'm scared.

Ryan xxx

Hi, Ryan,

Vision symptoms can be so frightening! I have experienced central serous retinopathy, which flares when my general inflammation increases and when cortisol rises. The main symptom of this is a blurry or dark spot in the the center of your vision, in one or both eyes. It can include a feeling of pressure, and straight lines may look wavy. Does that sound familiar, by any chance?

It's good that you eye exam was fine a few months back, but unfortunately I would recommend getting another exam when this symptom is active.

Is this something that has happened when you have treated before, or just since you resumed treatment recently?

I hope you find relief very soon!

I’m just answering to let you know that some other people here in the past had vision problems so you are not alone. It was usually with blurriness. You just don’t see that many posts on that anymore because this forum just isn’t as busy as it used to be.

I didn’t have blurry eyes but I did have a very short period of very dark vision. Bright sunshine looked like the midnight moon. Luckily , that only lasted for one weekend. I figured if it was some sort of organ failure causing this -I just wouldn’t wake up the next day. Well, here I am 10 years later and see pretty good. I don’t know exactly what caused it.

I am treating for Bartonella and have had both - pressure behind eyes and blurred vision. However I would describe both as mild and transient - not long lasting or severe. My experience with blurred vision that it is like looking through a not very dense gray/white fog and it typically only happens in one eye at a time, intermittently, lasting maybe 20-30 minutes each episode at most. Not sure how what you're experiencing compares in terms of severity or duration..

fwiw my eye pain and floaters and extreme photo sensitivity went away with treatment of toxoplasmosis and bartonella.

Another idea is ocular migraines. They often affect only one eye at a time and can involve pressure, visual disturbances, light sensitivity, pain, blurry vision, or even temporary blindness. They do not mean anything is wrong with your eye or that your vision is at risk, but are of course inconvenient! Some people can have ocular migraines with only ocular symptoms (so no throbbing headache, nausea, or other typical migraine symptoms).

That said, "migraine" is just a description of symptoms, and does not point to a specific underlying cause. Migraines can be triggered by stress, environmental exposures (fumes, mold, fragrances, etc.), posture and ergonomics issues, dehydration, food allergies, infections, lack of sleep, hormonal changes, medication side effects, etc. So even if you're having ocular migraines, it's still a good idea to look for patterns and keep addressing your tick-borne infections.

I had eye issues when I was in middle of treating. It was kind of blurry/weird pain and feeling of having something in my eyes. I would get freaked out and went to eye doctor to make sure everything was ok. It's been a few years now and I forgot all about it. I would try and detox best you can and try and remember these things come in waves and get better before you forget all about that "symptom".
