SUMMARY. Information on ophthalmological manifestations of Lyme disease, the prevalence of borreliosis in Ukraine and in the world is provided. Considering that these cases are rare, even in endemic areas, it complicates the diagnostic search in patients with ocular manifestations. The importance of a detailed epidanamnesis collection in patients with eye lesions of likely infectious genesis is emphasized. On the example of a clinical case of a disseminated form of Lyme disease with eye damage in an immunocompetent person, the specifics of diagnosis, clinical course and treatment are described. Data on the dynamics of the course of keratoconjunctivitis before and after the appointment of etiotropic therapy are presented. This clinical case emphasizes the importance of communication between doctors of different specialties regarding the choice of the algorithm of diagnostic procedures and the appointment of etiotropic and local therapy.
