What is optic neuritis and myelinolysis?

Patient's question:

Grandpa's other organs are in good condition, but his vision isn't very good. I initially thought Grandpa had cataracts, but it turns out he doesn't have cataracts. Instead, he has optic neuritis with demyelination. What is optic neuritis with demyelination? Does optic neuritis with demyelination heal on its own?

Doctor's answer:

Recurrent neurological diseases can lead to severe ocular dysfunction, and timely treatment should be implemented upon diagnosis. Currently, the treatment of neurological diseases often relies on medication. If the medication is ineffective, surgery may also be chosen. In daily life, it is essential to pay close attention to one's health. Early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment are the most effective approaches.
