optic neuritis help?!?!


Question: Optic neuritis help?!?
i'm 14, and i've had an optic neuritis attack before. it was in august, very late july, and i practically lost all vision in my right eye. was put on steroids, IV and pill form.
now..
i think my left eye is starting to do the same thing. when i close my right eye and look out of my left, i can still see.. but i feel like something is.. wrong.
and i sorta think my vision has gotten worse.
my left eye is also my weak eye, but it feels much weaker now.
i also have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and i've been on betaseron for almost a year now.
if i do have optic neuritis, i will be sent back to STL children's hospital again.
can someone tell me if it sounds like optic neuritis, or is it not serious enough to be that?
thanks. :)

I printed out an eye chart offline and when the top two lines go for one or both eyes is when I give up and go in for treatments. Until then it really isn't worth it because it can be irritated by weather changes or eating to much zinc.

Please see an eye doctor.. this is very important, there are so many disorders that could be causing you to do this. It isn't too expensive, call around and ask for prices. But you only have two eyes. They are irreplaceable. I was diagnosed with a disorder at 18, thank goodness I went to a doctor because I could of gone blind.

If you feel something is wrong and not quite right, you should see your doctor.
