Abstract

Lyme disease shows a large variety of clinical signs and symptoms. Ocular disease may occur in the disseminated stage of the disease. Ocular signs are often not specific of Lyme disease. In the presence of unexplained ocular disease it may be wise to consider Lyme disease as a possible diagnosis. Diagnosis and therapy in two Lyme disease patients with ocular disease are discussed.
