A member asked:
Is it possible for a doctor to diagnose optic neuritis just from a routine eye exam?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Some time the person may not have a severe optic neuritis, or may have a mild symptom that is over looked by the patient. On occasion, on a routine eye exam many problems could be diagnosed including old or active optic neuritis.
