A member asked:

What to do if i have what seems to be permanent blurry vision in my right eye from cat-scratch disease. are there any treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Retinal specialist: Bartonella henselae is a bacterial infection from cat scratch disease. This can cause swelling in the optic nerve and occasional leakage of retinal blood vessels. This causes visual loss from macular edema, which usually resolves and lipid (fat from blood) deposits in the macula- the central retin responsible for central vision. Sometimes this does not resolve. I would get it evaluated/treated.
