Thank you Dr. Spector for your clear definition. I was first diagnosed with O.N. when I was 25 years old. Iritis at 17 Years old. Hla b 27 blood factor positive. No known Lupus except for medically induced while on a t.n.f. blocker last winter. I am currently legally blind in both eyes. With 2 Optic Nerves that are still enlarged/swollen after a steriod infusion. My scans have been essentially clear of lesions over the years. Praise Jesus. It is true that it is a small percentage that later develop m.s. (I am now 39). But, that is why it is important to keep an appointment routine with a neuro eye specialist. I did a video on my Service Dog and also low vision/blind tools that I personally use often to function better. They are in my recent video uploads for anyone that is in a similar boat as myself. Or someone they care about is. As a patient I have come to understand that a focus on over all health, adjustment, as well as mental health are all vital key factors to the patient living their best life. ❤
I had an episode of sudden onset optic neuritis in both eyes. This video is more informative than any professional treatment. I have no answer as to what happened and no assurance that it won’t happen again. This video; however, is more informative than any of the clinical evaluations I received.
Is your visual acuity decreased,how I dianosed I have it?
Thanks Doctor 🙂
Thank you. Very helpful !
I was diagnosed with optic neuritis in 2019 , at the month of November when I woke up one day with mild pain in my left eye and blurred vision ( spot like dot blurring my vision while focusing with my left eye) , besides I was suffering from myopia in my right eye but my left eye which was working perfectly fine was compensating my vision. After some day I consulted an ophthalmologist he then prescribed me some test , which I had undergone . I was diagnosed with optic neuritis in my left eye and myopia in my right eye , difficulty in identifying some colours like red for my MRI reports tested negative for MS. Doctors told me have swollen optic nerve due to unknown reasons in my left eye therefore he prescribed me through 5 days course of steroid infusion through iv, for faster recovery and assured me recovery of my vision in 15 to 30 days. Now it’s been more than a year now , I haven’t regained my full vision in my left eye ( colours appear dull when try to see solely through my left eye, blurred spots on things while focusing on them ,degraded night vision)I have glass which compensated for myopia in my right eye . I thing my degraded vision in left eye is permanent!!!!
This makes me so sad...I had just been diagnosed and am waiting for my right eye to fully recover...14 days now very slow progress
My diagnosis is the same, it's also been more than a year. has something changed for you? did you see? how can i get in touch with you?
I’m a little over a year. I’m dealing with very dull colors and lighting. I take it this is where it’s going to be at forever. 😔
Video made for people with vision problems, yet significant portions are text slides, with no accompanying read-out audio, on a confusing, low contrast background. Didn't anyone in the production process flag up that might not be the smartest technique?
I have lupus. I was dx'd with Optic neuritis AFTER getting sick with lupus.
My left vision very cloudy and doctor advice me not to stress out. I really dont know how to recover it. It happened twice this year because i stressed out.
niksack did it clear up? If so what did you do?
Hi my name is estefany im 25 years old in 2011 I lost my left eye vission I went to eye doctor they said I had optic neuritis I took the treatment of steroids but since 2011 I can't see with my left eye and I notice that my left eye ball is moving to much to the left side and I am worried about I don't if normal or what is going on with my left eye?? and I was wondering if is any treatment to bring my vission back?? or any change to see again with my left eye?? i really really want to see again with my left eye I want to be normal again!! i feel bad and insecure when people call me names like chameleon etc. I hope you can answer my questions thanks you
If the visual acuity can be corrected by eyeglasses , could this still be optic neuritis? Thank you
the left eye feel hard and its a constant nerve tingling constant horrible feeling
when I was eight I lost my vision in my left eye. I was taken to Ann Arbor and they did a spinal tap to see if I had it. They found out I did, it took me a long time to regain my sight. I still cant see certain colors and I still don't know what caused it. I never had any symptom the only thing I had was I couldn't see out of my left eye. optical neuritis was hard and is still for me to understand why I got it.
How long did it take for your vision to go back to normal? It’s been a bit over a month for me with my right eye
Ann Arbor huh? I live near there. Looks like we're both in the same area. Would you like to talk, Erin?
Rob Bowman did they put you on prednisone?
@@robbowman2868hello did you got your vision back?
My son fell ill with meningitis and lost his eyes. He detects some lights though he can't see. He has been under depression and anxiety disorder. Can he get his sight back. He is 23 yrs old. We are from kenya. Please help me.
Sir I have suffered from Optic neuritis
Hello Dr., I am wondering as you didn't mention in your video other causes such as 1/ Alcoholism 2/ Smoking (mainly heavy smoking) as either a causing factors or precipitating others…….!? Let's communicate to interchange ideas & thoughts…..
Thanks for your kind cooperation

For yrs i told any eye doc i saw that one eye was as if the lights are down in the room and the other the lights are normal and bright....not one had an answer for me. Seems pretty basic knowledge for an eye doc especially since i was told i have optic neuritis in the eye i complained about. Only thing i was told about the ON is the nerve is inflammed wasnt told any possible symptoms from it. I swear the medical world is ridiculous over paid and under deliver. Constant let downs. Some good docs out there but the system needs an over haul. Glad at 45yrs old i finally have an answer...that i found on my own. Best is i have post concussion syndrome and its affected my vision ...imagine the lack of help there its like i see all these options for tx online through research but none are given to me im told see a neurologist....nobody wants to use their brain to find solutions for a patient i see all kinds of therapies and glasses to wear to help its like docs dont know anything that exists to help.
I've been searching for 50 years + good luck to you
Plz doctor help my daughter plz give her treatement I m from nepal
Not a great start that begins with the inter-title gaff, "why DOES my eyes always seem to hurt?"! The information is not bad, and is succinct, but a bit lacking in detail. (And then, again, inter-title grammatical and punctuation sloppiness tends to make one question how professional----or, better, how well thought-out----this ultimately is in detail.) But at least this kind of informational video exists! Better than to not be available at all.
Would chemicals such as living in a meth home add a child st birth for 6 yrs be a factor?
