A member asked:

Can eye floaters in both eyes be the only symptom of optic neuritis? or do i need to have vision loss and eye pain.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Floaters: Floaters are generally not a symptom of optic neuritis. Vision loss and pain are far more common symptoms of that disorder.
