10 Optic Neuritis Symptoms

Symptom #3: Pain in the Eye
Pain is an unpleasant and distressing feeling that is often due to an intense or damaging stimulus. Pain is one of the natural responses of the body to protect itself from damaging situations by withdrawing, resting, and allowing the affected area to heal.
In optic neuritis, almost all adult patients experience retro-orbital or eye pain that is aggravated by eye movement. The eye pain may be one of the earliest symptoms before loss of vision occurs.
