This man is brilliant.
He sure is his book is stellar 👌🏼
I have had this for over 4 + years, im literally blind in my left eye, and am terrified itll happen to my right eye.
My very first symptom in primary Progressive multiple sclerosis was vision in just two years I have went from division problem to taking 90 mg of Baclofen a day
Hello Doctor. Thanks for such a great information. I just subscribed you because of the great content of your videos.
I have a query. I had optic neuritis 3 weeks ago and as the improvement was little slow, so doctor suggested steroids. Now I am improving better with steroids.
*I want to know if the optic neuritis starts improving with steroids, does it potentially indicates MS?*
It would be great if you can please answer my question.
I can't speak to your specific situation, but in general, the best predictor of multiple sclerosis risk is an MRI of the brain rather than recovery from optic neuritis.
Dr. Brandon Beaber I had a seizure of some sort 3 years ago and it made me collapse and go temporarily paralyzed . When I went in the hospital the said they paralysis was cause by an old thoracic disc herniarían compressing my spine . I had spinal fusion and could was able to move my legs but learned to walk again a year later . They did a brain MRI and found a pituitary adenina which is being monitored every 6 months now . When I read my brain MRI it said I had a lot of white matter suggestive of MS . The doctors never mentioned it to me nor did they ever tell me what could cause my seizure. I never bad one in my life . I also loss my speech and when I tried to talk I would stutter. I am currently having eyeball pain when looking left and right again and blurry vision. I was given tobramycin and it does not work and the eyeball pain has gotten worse. I emailed my neurologist this morning to see what he thinks . I am having bad headaches as well, my eyeballs hurt to look around and I see foggy around certain objects

In October 2022, I had my 2nd episode of optic neuritis. This time the inflammation caused a hemorrhage in the back of my eye. Spent 7 days in the hospital. They found a few white matter lesions. I was diagnosed with CIS. I also have lupus and raynauds. I recently had episodes of diploplia and I suffer from migraines daily. I really hope my neurologist will put me on preventative medication soon.
Ughhhh this is the worst! MS patient for 6 years. Had this a few times, awful. One eye paralysed, double vision 🤦🏼♀️ id much rather my relapses made my legs not work, than vision problems!
I’ve had it and i was diagnosed with MOGAD
My first symptom of MS was ON, but I realize now how little I knew about it. Soon after came the diagnosis of MS, so I never really thought about ON anymore.
So much information in a single video, I had to go back and listen again on many places. And I'll have to listen a bunch of times more. Thank you, Dr. Beaber.
Hope my ON doesn't return.
My aunt has exactly the Symptoms he is describing days after recovering from COVID(omicron), her MRI, blood test and all the vision test he talks about, her results are exactly what he said, he was prescribed with solu-Medrol 1000mg for 5 days, she is still trying to recover, but doctors didn’t know what she has, so I just found this video!!! I’m so happy he talks about other options for the treatment, maybe that would help her for her complete recovery 🙏. We don’t want her to live with a vision like that. I wish I could have a zoom medical appointment with this doctor.
Any updates so far?
I'm experiencing ON as I write; same time as last year, same eye, no medication, but understand what it is and why. I have a big bottle of Tumeric in the kitchen. Taking one Teaspoon in water with a packet of Equal. Plus, going back on Whals Protocol; just what I did after last February's O Neuritis. Yup, eye got better and returned to normal by Late March Early April.
Recommendation: This disease is going to be with her / us, so better to learn with natural herbs and spices are well-known to reduce inflammation in the body. This way, it may not be necessary to run right to the doctor or the hospital. ...They see this all the time, and don't do nearly enough to treat and cure Anybody, sigh.
So try Whals Protocol and Tumeric in 6+8 oz of water. Seems to help slowly restore function. Best. Peace ❤
What about stress and anxiety? Can that bring on pseudo Optic Neuritis?
Nice video! I see what you've done here!
I had an optic neuritis flare about 7 years ago. I didn't know what it was at first I just thought I had a floater in my eye that wouldn't go away. That went on for about 2 weeks. I finally seen an ophthalmologist who thought he knew what I had but recommended a neurologist. Sure enough after the MRI he found MS. I've had 2 other attacks since. I've lost color in the eye. Even driving is hard without sunglasses because of the light differential in each eye. This was great information. You have a new subscriber! Everything you mentioned was spot on!
:) Thanks. Let me know if you have any video requests
I too have same symptoms let know many days will it take to cure pls
I had 3 episodes of ON and the doctors have not told me I was diagnosed with MS. I got pregnant and haven’t got ON since then 6 years later I’m not I’m having a left eye pain when movement but this is my second day with this..
Fantastic video! I do have to say your desk/hutch was giving my organizational self anxiety 🤪

@@DrBrandonBeaber hello doc,
we got the same case like optic neuritis to my son.
some how can we have an email you? or chat message...please.thanks
@@farahchaerunnisa7611 Sorry. I can't give you personal advice Farah.
Doctor plz my baby has optic neuritis problem is there any treatment plz give me phn no.
Same in my beby also
I am already consulted with so many medical but no results
Great video!
When I was still waiting for a diagnosis, my ON (left eye) was left untreated. About 9 weeks after it began, I felt 3 consecutive buzzes of electricity down the entire right side of my body. After those buzzes, some of my vision returned - it was like somebody flicked a switch! My vision fully recovered after another 4 weeks and 5 day oral methylprednisolone.
I’m still seeking an official diagnosis and have tested negative for AQP-4 and MOG antibodies. All my symptoms completely subsided after methylprednisolone (leg weakness, altered sensation in soles of feet and fingertips, Lhermitte’s sign). Only ever had one attack and don’t meet McDonald Criteria. Could this be CIS?
I have some insight but wouldn't feel comfortable giving direct medical advice. Generally speaking, the key test after optic neuritis is an MRI of the brain.
@@DrBrandonBeaber
With contrast?
What was your vision like when it all began? Like did you had color contrast, dimness, and how much was your acuity? After you recovered did you get everything back to normal or is there some residue left? Appreciate your input into this.
She had COVID(omicron) and after some days of her recovery she is having problems whit her eye vision.
Have you any treatment about optic nerve damage due to trauma and blurr vision can you restore my vision in right eyep please sir tell me
My 12year son had this problem recently

I had a stroke on brainstem double vision and nystagum most of from stroke i help need help fast
Which steroid are useful in optic neuritis ?
Some typical regimens for acute optic neuritis in an adult would be solumedrol 1000mg IV for 3-5 days or oral prednisone 1250mg for 3-5 days. These medications are given with gastrointestinal prophylaxis such as omeprazole (prilosec). Sometimes, a taper of lower dose oral steroids is used.
I was diagnosed with M.S. about 10 years ago. My symptom was very strange. When I would look left, my left eye would turn but my right eye would stay straight. The same vice versa. All I would see is a blur... After 12 MRIS and numerous cat scans and a spinal tap I was diagnosed with M.S. I had to learn how to walk again as well
Thank you so much for the very informative video. I learned a lot about this disease. My question is whether optic neuritis causes a teary eye. Thank you.
Thanks for this. This was how my MS first presented. Although I have since recovered, it still doesn't sit right with me that I was never offered any drugs other than Advil.
My wife just got diagnosed with this , and had a black out yesterday , scared the hell out of me
The search that led me here was, "how the Pineal gland affects the optic nerves".
Since you didn't mention Pineal at all, I assume either I've searched the wrong subject -or - you don't know anything about the Pineal either.
No one seems to want to discuss it.
Informative presentation though.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm not aware of any specific connection between optic neuritis and the pineal gland.
Sir my Small sister suffering from Optic neuritis last six days After six days started Methylprednisolone 1gm so sir plz let me know possibilities of recovery 100%
It would be better to discuss this with her provider. Most people who have vision 20/100 or better at the nadir (worst point on visual function) have a good recovery over time.
This was a Great presentation & very thorough. It will be useful during my next visit to the eye Dr.-- who isn't all the familiar with MS & the fallout related to MS
Please don't forget to post the link to the other video you mentioned about electrophoresis.
It looks like it works. Here is the direct link: ua-cam.com/video/yWd0Is_VKtY/v-deo.html
Hi Dr. Beaber, I am getting an MRI brain scan next week, but I am curious on your thoughts. I have a constant pain that feels like it is coming from behind the eyes. I had a fairly large fluid pocket in my right eye that water pills took care of over a couple of months. However, several months later my vision has not returned in the eye which is bad enough that I cannot make out 1 inch letters at any distance and colors are off like red looks pink etc.. and i see what looks like a kaleidoscope without the colors (lights only) I was also just diagnosed with POTS but this is probably not linked? The POTS could even be a misdiagnosis I guess..
You wouldn't have any suggestions as to anything that would cause this would you?
Food sensitivity can cause terrible illness, even blindness.
Might want begin Lions diet...beef,bacon, butter and eggs.
See Dr Anthony Chaffee MD neurologist & lots of great carnivore doctors on YT
Thank you
God bless you
Can the optic nerve heal after a couple of years? I've had a lot of optic neuritis in the past. Wonder if there is permanent damage
I’ve had it. There is some permanent damage. You may need glasses/contacts afterwards. My blind spot went away but i ended up needing glasses afterwards
@@skinner716 I wear glasses and lensen for 25 years now...
Hi, I was diagnosed with Optical Neuronitis 3weeks ago and I lost the sight in my right eye as of today it still has not returned. We done MRI of head and neck, VEP test, IV Steroids for 5 days and NMO IgG Autoantibodies test. All test came back normal except the MRI of the neck. It showed I had 2 places where the vertebrae was pressing against my spinal cord. Could that be part of the problem? If not what should be my next step .
Sorry. I can't give you medical advice here. Vertebrae pressing against the spinal cord would not cause optic neuritis.
Plz let me know methylprednisolone is suitable for optic nerve disease and duration of treatment
A typical treatment of optic neuritis in adults is methylprednisolone 1000mg daily for 3-5 days.
I have optic nerve damage for a long time but just found out what can i take to calm inflammation and pain down.im always double vision
This has been so helpful to listen to. I just had a long day doing tests and feeling very alone.
I'm glad it helped. Best of luck to you.
Hi Dr. Brandon, is using our gadgets also the cause of this?
Not to my knowledge.
I believe I experienced Optic Neuropathy a month ago. and my vision decreased from 20/20 to 20/25, I have a new onset of floaters and formed astigmatism. Would a Dr be able to see that I recently had ON or do I have to be evaluated while it happens? I am doing better but still have bilateral pain with movement behind the eyes and it is everyday. Also is there any relationship between ON and dry eyes! thanks!
These are better questions for an ophthalmologist, but even after incomplete recovery from optic neuritis, people will often have an abnormal examination (relative afferent pupillary defect for instance). There are other causes of optic nerve disease such as anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. Optic neuritis should not cause dry eyes which is generally related to superficial corneal injury.
Very informative , thank you
I had optic neuritis in both eyes, very severe but almost completely recovered at least on the eye test. I don’t feel like I see as well, or as quickly as I did before. At night, I can’t drive because I frequently misunderstand what I’m seeing. I simply don’t do it, I don’t even like riding in the car at night because I always think we’re about to hit something or run off the road.
There are also a lot of things I need a magnifying glass and flashlight to see, which I used to see just by wearing my glasses.
How much time it takes to recover your vision after optic neuritis
Thanks for the video, it helped me understand more about it. I have optic neuritis and I have 20/100 vision in my left eye. I started treatment with 1000mg methylpredinisolone for 5 days IV and am now taking 60mg oral prednisolone. My vision went to 20/30, but I still can't distinguish the colors correctly, it's all very blurry and black spots, it's weird.
Doctor, would you have any supplements that could help with the recovery of the optic nerve? For example lutein, zeaxanthin, omega 3 (thinking good amounts of docosahexaenoic acid)?
I would also like to know if I have a chance of my vision returning to normal, as she has already had a good response with the start of treatment. I'm so scared to see it like this forever...
A big hug from Brazil
Hi Pedro
I hope you are well.
Hows your vision now? Did you take any treatment?
@@mirhanan Unfortunately my vision was never the same. It seems that I see through a fog and when my body warms I can't see anything (Uhthoff's phenomenon)
I did 10 sessions 1000 mg methylprednisolone intravenous + immunosuppressive. I am currently not taking anything
@@ReyAloneAloneRey Oh...Sorry to hear that! I hope it will get better.
Did you take plasmapheresis treatment?

I am having optic neuritis and vission problem. Taking steroids sir plz help tell me whether i will recover my vission
I can't comment on your situation, but many people with optic neuritis with vision 20/200 or better in the affected eye have an excellent recovery over time. I wish you the best of luck.
I am having mild inflammation so how much time will it take to recover my vission.. i am taking 50 mg tablet
hey, how is your vision currently? Did you feel any improvement? . I have optic neuritis and I am very concerned about my vision. I noticed an improvement with IV steroids but I still don't see much
Experiencing ON atm. My symptoms are eye movement pain and vision dimness in my right eye. My doctor put me on IV methylprednisolone 1g for 3 days... last day was two days ago. My vision has still not returned. I'm a little worried but hopeful. Hoping to comeback to this comment with positive updates soon. Researching on how to reduce inflammation generally in the body.
Any improvements?
@@amieemaan100 pain in my eye is gone down, but my vision has still not returned. I did an mri and various blood tests and my neurologist said everything seems normal. He's put me on Lyrica for 30 days, observing and still being optimistic.
Anything yet?

I have NMO and Lupus. In 2016 I lost my vision on my left eye but regained some of it. Two days ago I started experiencing pain in my eye, now my eye can barely see, I cannot see color or small objects. Do I need to go to the ER?
Did anybody face dimness issue - Like the whole world has turned lights off? Why would that happen?
2. I also faced eye strain when I look up close in my laptop like my eyes crossed ( in real they don't but the feeling) and you can't focus on things though you see them. It slightly uneasy. Text on the TV is blur for some hours. Everything around looks uneasy to focus. Not blur but like may be misaligned eyes? But in real your eyes look straight
3. I lost long distance vision. Slight clarity missing.
4. I had few seconds of orangs light which was griwing in concentric circles , when I closed ny eyes. Happened twice.
Let me know if you came out of any of these. I must say I was crying a lot one day. The next week this happened while I was watching Tv sleeping lying to my left side on the sofa.

I had ON first in 1996 then again in both eyes 1997. I only need glasses 3 years ago. But my latest script is a huge change. 2 questions. Does past I ON mean my eyesight will get worse and worse? How do I know that my latest glass scrip isnt just me getting ON
Thank you for this video
What if your eyeball points in another direction than the other
This would not be caused by optic neuritis. it could be caused by many disorders including internuclear ophthalmoplegia explained here: ua-cam.com/video/2MscEYj1LSg/v-deo.html
One year I experienced for the first time 3 episodes of ON and I shortly after that I got pregnant and six years later still no relapse and i now am experiencing the same eye pain for 2 days now. I wounded if it’s comming back although it’s been a while… 🤔 during past ON treatments wasn’t diagnosed MS.
I had a neurologist test me for Devic's disease years ago. What is that, and how does it relate to Optic Neuritis?
Devic disease is an old name for the disease neuromyelitis optica (NMO) which can cause optic neuritis, transverse myelitis, and inflammation in the brain in some cases. About 70% of people with this condition have an antibody called the anti-aquaporin-4 antibody which is likely the test your doctor performed. I may do a separate video on NMO at some point.
I have optic nerve damage. Without glasses I can’t see or read properly on the computer or UA-cam videos. I am getting worried now. Please help me. Thanks
I do have optic neuritis but and it's been active for 3 years but I don't have any symptoms except small black dots in the eyes and sometimes about 10% loss of vision...
I had a lung infection , was put on TB medication for the full 6 months before the doctor told me I never had TB. a year later lost vision in my left eye because of the TB medication. thank you for the video.

😂 This happened backwards foor me. I got an mri, then boom 2 days later got covid and few days after that optic neuritis in right eye. At least I think thats what it is. I have to wait 10 days in order to get in and get it looked at. I think its covid that caused it as my lymph nodes on that side of my face and neck are also swollen. 🙃
I swear it feels like I'm suffering from this shit now, the nerves behind my eyes are constantly vibrating, my eyes are slightly sore and these symptoms make me feel unusually tired especially if I am not wearing my glasses
Hi I was told in late February that my optic nerves have due to too many optic neuritis attacks I have spent the past three months watching my side absolutely crumble to the point of visual snow has happened my central vision is going fast and sub peripheral in my right eye no doctor will help me where I am as I personally don't think they have dealt with this I am definitely going blind really fast? I am so terrified
I just had an eye attack yesterday. I woke up and within minutes I felt such intense pain. Yes Dr. (It can be extremely painful.) I just started screaming and crying. My husband took me to the ER and they gave me a steroid shot and I started feeling better. It scared me so much. Now I’m scared for it to happen again. I just got diagnosed with MS. I was getting dizzy a lot and when I fell, I knew I had to get help. So, I didn’t even know what was happening. I’m watching videos to learn about MS. Thank you for explaining it so well.

Hello.Dr. Beaber,
Recently, I was diagnosed with optic neuritis in my left eye. I was sent to ER by a Retina specialist and I was treated with ivy steroid for 5 days. All the MRI and blood test results came clean. Upon discharge I was on prednisone 20mg for two weeks. I was told by my neurologist vision should be fully restored in 2 weeks. It's been more than 2 weeks and my vision is still not fully restored. I feel like it's around 80%. How long usually does it take before the vision is completely restored? At this point, I am starting to worry.
hello there.
Has your vision been restored?
@@mirhanan not fully restored. About 80%

Can a double vision cause by small vessel ischemic disease recover?
***Attn: Dr. Beaber*** pertaining to the treatment against the relapse of the Optic Neuritis (both eyes) that originated specifically from MOG antibodies(not MS or anything else) where patient had a full vision recovery using IV steroids...
In your "Rituximab(Rituxan/Truxima)" video you have shared your opinion on having a lesser doze of this IV infusion(500mg instead of 1000mg) and no particular need for a commonly used doze after 14 days, and than 6 month follow up with the equal doze(500mg instead of 1000mg) to assure no issues with low levels of hemoglobin down the road... Since your Rituximab video doesn't mention about MOG antibodies caused Optic Neuritis, does your opinion of 500mg infusion doze(single doze without 14 day follow up)equally applies? In other words, does the presence of MOG antibodies would for some reason require a higher doze(1000mg), and the 14 day follow up doze?
Thank you ahead of time for your reply!!!
Doc very very nice and informative video, please is azathioprine used in treating retrobulbar neuritis
I am dying to get your reply doc I found you as sun ray in dark gloomy night
I had idiopathic optic neuritis 14 months ago and was not treated properly by a neuro-opthamologist. He gave me low dose oral prednisone and it did nothing for my blindness. When I got my regular neurologist who was treating me for neuropathy, to give me the course of IV methylprednisolone, it immediately brought back 15% of my sight. So, in my opinion the IV worked. But I am now functionally blind in that eye. The neuro-guy insists that the IV is controversial, even though I have read many studies that indicate it is the FIRST course of action. I wish that my treatment had been better... Now I live with only one eye, and seeing this video made me again sad that my treatment was sub-standard.
The optic neuritis treatment trial showed that IV high dose steroids were more effective than lower dose oral steroids, though I presume that this is due to a difference in dose rather than route as steroid products like prednisone have very high bioavailability (absorption into the gastrointestinal tract).
I have heal optic nerve 4 years before.. My sight decreased about 20%..thanks god.. But I want a treatment of Utah's phenomenon I want my eye back .. Or i should just wait?

Hello dear Dr
My father had Toxic Optic (Methanol Intoxication)Neuropathy 5 months ago
When he had this disease doctors injected Metylpredinisolon 1000mg 2x after 24 hourse he became will even he was able to drive and write.
But after 1 week being well his both eyes again became dark and darker.
Doctors said that you would be fine but it is a long process to gain your vision
I wanna know would he become fine and gain his vision or not?😢
This is a different condition from optic neuritis and is outside of my expertise, but I hope he recovers his vision over time.

Hi, how was your dad’s recovery after steroids
Got curtain eye in right eye. Was checked for detached retina. Nope. Ischism of optic nerve. Two different doctors can't provide help. Self research reveals Prednisone may help. How do I get some?
Sorry. I can't comment on your specific situation. Many ophthalmologic conditions can cause similar symptoms and can mimic optic neuritis.
Hey doc, I’m 17 years old and I need your help, will like to ask you some questions that will save my life, learnt a lot watching this but I need to ask you a more profound question 🙏🏼
Sorry, but I wouldn't be able to give you personal medical advice.
I am having pain in my left eye since 2-3 days when i did an all-nighter online study session and only slept 3hrs and did another all nighter next day.
After this i felt pain in both eyes, then right eye got fine in a day, but still left eye has minor discomfort when i see Top-Right position (at top of nose), pain is between eye and eyebrow..i dont have colour issue, nothing blurry..
Can this be ON or just eye strain??
Plz reply Dr.
Thank you ,you told this topic that is very understandable.
