A member asked:
Is it possible to have optic neuritis if your eye hurts but it hurts less when you move your eyes and your vision is perfectly preserved?

Optic neuritis symptoms involve loss of visual acuity, color desaturation, and eye pain which may worsen when looking to the side or up and down. What you describe is "eye hurts", but not a disorder of the optic nerve. Am unclear why there is a question about "optic neuritis".
