#9 Lyme Disease 

Lyme disease is most commonly spread by a tick bite. It can go undetected in people for long periods of time.

Regular trips to see your Optometrist could reveal the presence of Lyme disease in a person’s body. Those who have it often experience inflammation in their optic nerves. They also tend to see “floaters” in their line of vision when they first get the disease.

You can avoid suffering from Lyme disease unnecessarily if your optometrist is able to see signs of it during an eye exam.
