Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please tell me how many types of optic neuritis there are and which one is the most severe?Doctor's answer:
Optic neuritis refers to the general term for inflammation occurring in any part of the optic nerve. Depending on the site of onset, it can be divided into two types: intraorbital and retroorbital. It may be accompanied by symptoms such as vision loss and eye pain. Hormonal drugs are generally used for treatment to suppress inflammatory responses in the early stages and prevent the disease from worsening. Quit smoking and drinking, maintain a regular schedule, avoid overexertion, do not worry excessively, and undergo regular follow-up examinations. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
