Neuroretinitis

Neuroretinitis is an eye condition that affects the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, and the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain. It is often caused by an infection or inflammation, leading to symptoms such as blurred vision, decreased vision, and sometimes eye pain. The condition can cause swelling of the optic nerve and changes in the retina, which can be seen during an eye examination. Treatment typically focuses on addressing the underlying cause, such as using medications to reduce inflammation or combat an infection, to help preserve vision.
