A 53-year-old man is described in whom ischemic optic neuropathy was part of the clinical picture of Lyme disease. This finding has not previously been reported as a neurologic manifestation of the disease. Such a complication could result from direct tissue invasion of the causative spirochete or may be due to immune-mediated inflammation.
