Optic neuritis?

Is the start of optic neuritis when your eyes are a bit blurry, it feels like the blurriness that you could blink a few times and clear it up but it won't go away. If that makes sense?? I can still see pretty good it's just that it feels like there's like a film over my eyes.

For Floreena about Optic neuritis

Floreena wants to know if her optic neuritis will recover soon as she has had it for some time. I have had 2, possibly 3 bouts of ON and they all recovered quickly. The first one in my left eye turned out to be a 98% loss of colour saturation 19/11/2004. I had an MRI in Jan 2005 costing 59€, cheaper...
