Can cat scratch disease cause eye problems?

Can cat scratch disease cause eye problems?

Yes. Some cases involve ocular complications. Eye redness, pain, light sensitivity, blurred vision, or swelling around the eye should prompt evaluation for ocular involvement (e.g., Parinaud oculoglandular syndrome). Eye findings may require urgent assessment because delays can increase the risk of vision-related complications. New eye symptoms after a scratch/bite should not be managed with a “wait and see” approach.
