A member asked:
Does optic neuritis affect all distances of vision? please, need some answers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: All of the visual input of the eye goes up the optic nerve and when the nerve is inflamed as in optic neuritis, then the vision will drop for all visual functions including near and far.
