Ocular syphilis is an eye condition that can occur when syphilis is left untreated. It can affect almost any eye part of the eye and can even lead to blindness. Just like syphilis, it can be treated with antibiotics, but early detection is very important.
When syphilis is left untreated, it can spread to other organs in your body, including your eyes and your ears. If you think you might have ocular syphilis or any STD or STI, get tested today.
Know the Symptoms
Did you know ocular syphilis can affect almost any part of the eye? While you might be familiar with other STDs and their symptoms, ocular syphilis can be harder to recognize. Symptoms can include:
- Eye pain or redness
- Floating spots in the field of vision
- Sensitivity to light
- Changes in vision (blurry vision or even blindness)
- Abnormal eye movements
Don’t let syphilis go untreated. Free STD testing is available at all AHF Wellness Centers. Find a location near you today.
