Hi I managed to develop optic neuritis in my right eye at the beginning of September. Quite a long story but It started with the usual pain when moving eye, not that I knew why at the time I just thought I had bad eye strain.

I got it after getting COVID. The double vision went away but I still experience brightness, especially when hot. If ...
