I received a ...

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.
