Besides MS, optic nerve inflammation can occur with other conditions, including infections or immune diseases, such as lupus. Rarely, another disease called Neuromyelitis optica(NMO) can cause inflammation of the optic nerve and spinal cord.
Most people who have a single episode of optic neuritis eventually recover their vision without treatment. Sometimes steroid medications can hasten the recovery of vision after Optic Neuritis.
