Optic neuritis

Getting so sick of feeling like my optic neuritis is flaring up when my eyes are tired! It terrifies me as ON was so debilitating and the stinging and tenderness is frustrating. Anyone have any tried and tested tricks to calm your eyes down?! Ophthalmology told me to blink more 🤔 FYI - I had it end of August and fully cleared up end of October

Yes, same! I’ve been experiencing the headache, eye pain, and blurriness that comes with mine when my eyes have been getting tired. I have been staring at screens a lot lately and without my glasses, so my fault. However! I usually use the 20/20/20 rule and that helps rest my eyes. Work for 20 minutes, then look up and find something out the window/inside that’s 20 feet away, and look at it for 20 secs. Then go back. Giving your eyes a rest from whatever strains them (near, far, screens, etc. it’s different for everyone) might help. I understand how frustrating it is! It’s been a lot harder to follow my own rule bc it’s so dark so early. Can’t wait for the sun to come back.
