Optic neuritis, a cause of sudden vision loss, often heralds the onset of multiple sclerosis (MS) within the next few years. It is important to distinguish optic neuritis from other types of optic neuropathy so that treatment can be started promptly, possibly delaying the onset of MS.
视神经炎是突然视力丧失的一个原因,常常预示着在接下来的几年内会发生多发性硬化症(MS)。将视神经炎与其他类型的视神经病变区分开来很重要,这样才能及时开始治疗,可能延缓MS的发病。
