Optic neuritis is a condition that is characterized by an inflamed optic nerve. Usually, lesions that are associated with multiple sclerosis cause optic neuritis. Optic neuritis typically causes a temporary loss of vision or partial loss of vision in an eye. Symptoms of optic neuritis may include a mild loss of color vision in an eye, or the complete loss of sight in the eye. Fortunately, the effects of optic neuritis usually return to normal within ten weeks, although there are a few individuals who will experience permanent loss of sight. Prompt treatment is essential for individuals who have optic neuritis in order to save eyesight and potentially postpone other symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Optic neuritis is treated with intravenous corticosteroids, and cannot be treated with oral steroids.
