Asking to SEE if I’m not alone

Hello! My first symptom was optic neuritis... I’ve been told that It will only happen in one eye... well I feel as though my left eye is starting again with the same symptoms and vision problems as my right eye with optic neuritis. Has this happened to anyone else... or most importantly Is it false?

@crystal89 , Optic Neuritis can be caused by inflammation of the optic nerve caused by MS. I can see no reason why a further MS episode cannot inflame the other optic nerve. That's just my view and I'm not medical at all. Get it checked out, as you do not need a "self-fulfilling prophecy". An eye-check with an Optician may be the quickest way to allay your fears. And, you don't need the stress that this may be causing you.

Im afraid to say I had it in both. It began in the right and for a period of time it was in both before it shifted to the left. It was over a period of a couple of months. Definitely go and see your nurse or consultant about it xx
