What Is Optic Neuritis?
3. What Are the Symptoms?
Eye pain is frequently the first sign of optic neuritis. The pain is usually more severe when the eye is in motion. The degree to which vision loss occurs varies from person to person; however, a majority of people experience at least some reduction in sight in at least one of their eyes. This loss usually occurs in a short period of time and takes longer to return.
Many people discover that there are changes to their field of vision. This can mean that central vision is lost or that the loss occurs in the periphery. If you have optic neuritis, you may also notice that colors appear duller, or you may see flashes of light when you move your eyes.
