Lyme disease is not always associated with eye pain, it can be caused by a tick. Also other symptoms are fever, feeling tired, fainting and a stiff neck, skin lesions, muscle pain. Feeling weak and lethargic. A ring shaped rash is also a symptom of Lyme disease.

Lyme can send twitching to the eye. You generally feel it in your blood traveling thru your body. It can center in your eye and stay or move. It is irritating.

Yes, Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that is transmitted by ticks. Lyme disease affects our immune system that results to weakening of our antibodies against infection. Symptoms such as eye pain is caused by inflammation of conjuctiva and retinal damages due to spread of intection.
