optic neuritis takes awhile to recover from. The steroids arent an instant fix. It takes awhile for the inflammation in the optic nerve to calm down, and if it was both eyes, the inflammation was probably pretty bad.

Five days of IVSM is a pretty good blast of steroids to throw at optic neuritis. (I've only ever had 3 days in a row of IVSM for optic neuritis)
