How to conduct a thorough examination of acute optic neuritis?

Patient's question:

Last Monday, the right eye first appeared with double vision again. At that time, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong. A few days later, my right eye vision severely improved. I went to the city hospital to see a specialist and had a fundus examination, slit lamp, and a series of other detailed tests. In the end, it was diagnosed as acute optic neuritis, and it was said to be very serious. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Acute optic neuritis has retinal lesions, which can cause severe vision loss, pain, and other symptoms. Angiography of the retina should be performed for careful examination and diagnosis. It is recommended to take anti-inflammatory and corticosteroid drugs for treatment. The dosage of medication must be used under the guidance of a local doctor, otherwise it will affect the relief effect. Generally, this condition takes a long time to recover completely, so strict adherence to medical advice is necessary. In the future, pay attention to eye hygiene and avoid overuse of the eyes.
