My wife was diagnosed with optic neuritis in October of 2004. She was given an agressive treatment of IV steroids about one week post diagnosis. This treatment produced no results. As a result of the optic neuritis, she been left completely blind in her left eye and has been since diagnosed with MS. She is only 30. Is it possible that she may regain her vision in her left eye? We need some hope.

sorry ur wife had lost vision in the left eye.
unfortunately ms is a uncurable progressive disease which has a variety of manifestations the most common of them is optic neuritis.
she may take prophylactic steroids for the other eye to spare it from damage, however there is no sure outcome from this procedure.
sorry.

It's my understanding of MS that symptoms sometimes come and go. We had a MS patient in our church when I was in high school. One month he would wheelchair bound. The next month he could walk with a cane but, not have use of an arm or eyes or something. I'd say yes, there is a possibility that her sight will come and go but, also other body parts will be greatly effected. I'll pray for her.

There is no way to predict what will happen next with MS. You might find it helpful to visit the MS Society Website where you can talk with other people that have experienced the same thing.
