Optic Neuritis Not Healing

Hi All, I was diagnosed with MS about 5-6 months ago. This started with my right eye going blurry - once at the hospital i went though all the tests and came out with an MS diagnosis and optic neuritis. I was put on Tysabri immediately which im still on now. I feel fine other than my eye still being blurry which concerns me. Ive barely noticed improvement in the past 6 months. Im wondering if its permanent damage at this point or if its possible that it can still heal. If it cant heal i have the thought in the back of my mind that the left eye could go blurry at some point and ill be completely blind. Im going to try and see an eye specialist to see what their opinion is. Just wondering if anyone was in this situation and their eye still healed. Thanks.

I work on computers for over 10 hours a day so i was wondering if this could affect how my eye is healing. The optometrist said this shouldnt be an issue considering the LCD technology in displays

Hi @rabwick and welcome. If you search through the Forum (magnifying glass top left), you'll find other's experiences of Optic Neuritis and the fact that it can still be healing at 12 months and beyond. It's difficult to spot any improvement in something that you are using all the time, like your eyes. You also have age on your side, so your brain should have enough neuronal reserve to effect improvements.
