Is optic neuritis easy to treat?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Can optic neuritis be easily treated?

Doctor's answer:

Optic neuritis can cause a severe increase in vision again, with a relatively rapid progression of the disease, and even deafness may reappear. Once these symptoms reappear, early and timely treatment is necessary. Early treatment has a very high chance of complete recovery. Go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for a thorough examination of the fundus through cranial CT. Wait for the diagnosis to be confirmed, and then treat according to the cause. Under the guidance of a doctor, use hormone drugs and neurotrophic drugs, etc. It should gradually stabilize.
