I vote that you should see an opthalmologist ASAP!

My ON lasted about 10 months before I was treated with IVSM. It didn't improve until I took the medicine. My vision was so bad by the time I got to the neuro-opthalmologist, that I could do some of the tests with my right eye...because I literally couldn't see out of that eye! I was legally blind in my right eye.

And still, the optic nerve didn't look pale.

I was seeing my opthalmologist, the neuro-opth. and a retinalogist (both at Stanford University). They all just kept hemming and hawwing until the LP showed o-bands.

Then everyone said "MS".

They all told me that with the first round of ON, it's not uncommon for the optic nerve NOT to look pale.
