Symptom #2: Optic Neuritis
Optic neuritis occurs when there is inflammation of the optic nerve and is commonly associated with multiple sclerosis. It can lead to partial or complete loss of vision in one or both eyes. The symptoms of optic neuritis include blurry vision and pain when there is movement of the affected eye. Early stages of optic neuritis should be treated as soon as possible to prevent further loss of vision.
Early symptoms include photophobia, red eyes, reduced night vision, occasional loss of color vision especially the color red, and colors appearing washed out in vision. There can be difficulty judging depth and transient worsening of vision with an increase in body temperature.
