MS vs glaucoma

I have MS.  I complained of seeing large white, fuzzy halos around small lights at night to my neurologist.  (Like when I look at the bright LEDs on my stereo equipment)  He stated that the main causes of this were refractive error and glaucoma.  A year ago I had OCT and they also did pressures.  The pressures were fine, but the OCT showed mild optic nerve atrophy on the left and borderline on the right.  This was explained to me as the sequelae of optic neuritis.

I still have the halos and they are not improved by putting on my glasses to take away the refractive error.  Should I be concerned about anything else?  I have had the high-dose (1000mg solumedrol) infusions for MS relapses, but not in the last two years.
