Would my gp be able to tell me if my optic neuritis is getting better? i don't see my neuro for a while but have an unrelated appt. with my gp soon.

Sure. Try GP.: While your GP may very well be familiar with optic neuritis and would be well able to perform a relevant examination, your GP obviously wouldn't have all the eye-examining toys that an Ophthalmologist would have. Therefore, the actual examination may be limited.
