Two common ones are glaucoma and RP. However, medical tests should indicate them.
Optic Neuritis is more common in MS, but not necessary. Things like meningitis, shingles, measles and even Lyme disease have been known to cause optic neuritis.
Another one is neuromyelitis optica, but that is fairly rare and has a bunch of other symptoms.

OP, is only one eye affected?
Borderpuppy 1 points 3y ago
At first, yes. But recently both eyes became involved. The left eye was the first effected eye and is a lot worse, but both eyes are covered in scotomas, severe blurring, black “holes”, blank areas etc.

I see your post got removed. Come on over to r/eyetriage if necessary.
I don't know what country you're in. Did your MRI report mention anything about demyelination? Have you had a fluorescein angiogram?

Yes, it said no evidence of demyelination. However, I haven’t had a mri of my spine yet, and I’ve heard lesions can show up there first.
I’ll certainly repost this there in a bit, thanks!
