Optic neuritis VS. Ocular herpes

[superscope]

I have heard Optic neuritis can lead to MS. Would Ocular herpes be considered Optic neuritis ?

[Dr Sharma]

Hi there. Optic neuritis is the inflammatory disease of uncertain cause. Ocular herpes is an infective condition. There is a close relationship between optic neuritis and multiple sclerosis. It is a demyelinating disease characterized by degeneration of fatty covering called myelin surrounding the nerves in the central nervous system. Body’s  own immune system starts attacking its own tissue limited to nervous system perceiving it as foreign. The optic nerve is the first area in the CNS to be attacked by the disease. Consult an ophthalmologist and neurologist to examine you in detail along with the relevant investigations. Take care.
