A member asked:
Can severe stress be a contributing factor to my optic neuritis ? i have gone blind in my left eye
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Optic neuritis has a variable course, and can be "set off" by many different factors. Stress releases certain chemicals that have multiple effects, but can increase inflammation. I recommend you see your eye doctor or neurologist to discuss your concerns.
