What is Optic Neuritis?

Dr. Brian Weinshenker, a clinician at the Mayo Clinic, describes the scientific process of how optic neuritis (ON) affects the eyes optic nerve. People living with neuromyelitis optica (NMO) can experience ON during NMO attacks. Symptoms can include eye pain and visual impairment.

I had photokeraitis from welding at work, so I went to a Mayo hospital for a eye exam and after a 8 month process of multiple testing Mayo doctors told me that I have a Meningioma brain tumor growing in my optic nerve area that is causing my left eye to go blind. After performing the surgery in my brain area they found that I had Optic neuritis. It's such a shame that these doctors misdiagnosed me and here we have a video of a Yayo doctor talking about optic neuritis. WOW and you guys were considered one of the top Hospitals in America. The only thing you guys are good at is Malpractice.
