Optic Neuritis Treatment
Visual acuity often returns to normal within two to three weeks with no treatment.
Intravenous corticosteroid therapy may accelerate visual recovery but may be associated with systemic side effects. Oral corticosteroid therapy may increase the risk of recurrence and is seldom used for initial therapy. It may be used after initial intravenous corticosteroid therapy.
Further tests may be needed to determine the cause of the neuritis, and the condition causing the problem would then be treated.
