Default Question about Optic Neuritis

Can optic neuritis be triggered by wearing a badly made pair of brand new eyeglasses?

I got new eyeglasses and new sunglasses last week. The sunglasses were not adjusted correctly and were causing me an "induced prism effect". The optician at my eye doctor's office (the doctor was not in) checked my glasses for me, and said that they were badly made and the prism effect was probably causing me some bad eye strain.

The eyeglasses had a lens that was not made properly (something about them flipping the lens before putting it in the lens making machine) And, ironically, it was causing a similar "induced prism effect" to what the sunglasses were doing, but it was waaaaaay worse than the sunglasses. Got the sunglasses adjusted properly and they're fine now.

The glasses were made at two different eyeglass stores too. So, it's weird that they both screwed them up on the right sides of the lenses.

My right eye hurts when I blink...and I dont mean the eyelid hurts...when I blink, I get a sensation that someone is stabbing me in the eye with an ice pick from just above the orbit. The pain goes thru my head, down the back of my head and is somehow making it feel like I'm pulling a muscle in my neck.

If I squint it hurts really bad, and the vision looks dim in that eye. (and yes, I'm calling my opthalmologist in the morning, and hopefully he'll see me tomorrow)

I just had an eye appointment last month. If my eyes are going to cause me problems, why couldnt it do it during a regularly scheduled appointment, and not 3 weeks after the regularly scheduled appointment? Now I'll be spending a lot of money at the optho's for the "click when you see the light game" and a lot more money to look at the pretty red lasers in the OCT scanner thingie.

I'd beat my head on my desk in frustration, but I think that would make my eye and head hurt more.

Why does MS have to be so freaking annoying and iwhy does it always wait till it's nearly a weekend before it starts to cause me problems?

At least the last time my eye was bugging me like this (February) the opthalmologist told me that I could call him on a weekend and either he or one of the other doctors at his office would open the office just to see me.

This just drives me nuts. Hopefully whatever is going on will have resolved itself by my birthday (later this month)

At least my date this weekend isnt happening now. If my eye hurts like this on sunday, I'm hiding in a dark room with an icepack taped to my head.

I'm going to bed and hope that I can still see in the morning.
