I've had several bouts of ON in both eyes. It doesn't seem to be choosy at all!

My doctor used to give me steroids at first but now I just let the flare take it's course. It only takes around 4 weeks to completely clear up, and I prefer not to take the cortisone if I can.

With each occurrence of ON I've had severe eye pain on movement, but not always blurred vision. Check your color vision Kelly and see if you have any disturbances there. Red colours often appear washed out during a flare.

Do get it checked, even if you don't want the steroids. It could be something else that does need treatment.
