A Multiple Sclerosis Foundation answered. Optic neuritis, a common first sign of multiple sclerosis (MS), can cause blurry vision, blind spots, dimmed color and eye pain. A follow-up study of people with optic neuritis found that the majority of those examined 15 years later had 20/20 vision in the affected eye.
Optic neuritis. The visual symptoms that occur in MS may be the result of optic neuritis â inflammation of the optic nerve â or lesions (damaged areas) along the nerve pathways that control eye movements and visual coordination. Optic neuritis may result in blurring or graying of vision, or blindness in one eye. A scotoma or dark spot may occur in the center of the visual field. Optic neuritis is almost always self-limiting, and affected individuals generally make a good recovery.
