Optic Neuritis
Optic neuritis is a condition that affects the optic nerve, which carries messages from the eyes to the brain. The optic nerve has a protective covering called myelin that helps signals travel smoothly between the eyes and the brain. In optic neuritis, the myelin becomes damaged, making it harder for the nerve to work properly. The condition often develops quickly over a few days, causing symptoms such as blurred or dim vision, reduced colour vision, blind spots, and pain when moving the eye. While these symptoms can feel frightening, most people recover good vision, though some may have lasting visual symptoms.

Bestselling Daily Disposable Contact Lenses for 2026
Daily disposable contact lenses continue to be one of the most popular choices among lens wearers due to their convenience, comfort and hygiene. Designed for one-time wear only, these contact lenses are discarded at the end of the day, eliminating the need of maintenance involving cleaning solutions or storage cases. Wearing a fresh pair every day can also help minimise the daily build-up of deposits on the lens surface, making them a comfortable and practical option for many wearers, especially those with active lifestyles.
