Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are diagnosed with retrobulbar neuritis. The vision improves in most of the cases by 6-8 weeks however all cases require evaluation to look for common causes like multiple sclerosis, infections, inflammations....
Treatment with the use of intravenous steroids is advised to prevent recurrences.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.


Thank you
