A member asked:
Do a lot of people get optic neuritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uncommon: Optic neuritis (also called optic neuropathy) is due to inflammation of the main visual nerve behind the eye. Many cases are isolated and only occur once. A lot are associated with multiple sclerosis and may be the first happening in that condition. You should see your ophthalmologist or neuro-ophthalmologist for diagnosis and treatment.
