Optic Neuritis by Ray Sahelian, M.D.

Optic neuritis is the inflammation of the optic nerve that causes a complete or partial loss of vision. Optic neuritis is sometimes called retrobulbar neuritis.

Drugs that may cause optic neuritis
Patients being treated with a TNFalpha antagonist should be closely monitored for the development of optic neuritis,  ophthalmological or neurological signs and symptoms. Furthermore, consideration should be given to avoiding such therapies in patients with a history of demyelinating disease.

Q. I suffer from optic neuritis in my left eye due to a number of previous surgical procedures. The vision in that eye is dimmer, and in low light conditions there is a continuous flickering or "strobe-light" effect that is extremely annoying. My opthomologist said there is no treatment or cure for optic neuritis and that the health of the nerve can only be monitored, however, when I take Eyesight-RX I can tell you without a doubt that the flickering is much less and gradually goes away with continued use. On days that I don't take the Eyesight-RX it comes right back. The only side effects I notice are when I run out of it or forget to take it the flickering comes back.
