Is Optic Neuritis with MOG Antibody Positivity Serious?

MOG antibody-positive optic neuritis is generally severe and requires prompt medical attention and targeted treatment measures as prescribed by a doctor to avoid unnecessary damage to the body. MOG antibody-positive optic neuritis is an autoimmune disease, which is considered to be related to familial inheritance. Due to the attack of autoimmune cells on the central nervous system, this disease may be triggered. When the disease occurs, patients usually experience symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, blurred vision, and low vision. Without timely and effective treatment, it may even lead to blindness. Moreover, this disease is usually incurable and requires relevant treatment methods to control the progression of the disease. Patients need to take medications such as carbamazepine tablets and vitamin B1 tablets in the early stages as prescribed by the doctor to alleviate the disease and reduce damage to the nerves. Plasma exchange can also be performed if necessary. In daily life, it is important to change unhealthy habits such as smoking and drinking, and avoid eating spicy foods like chili peppers and ginger. At the same time, it is necessary to change incorrect eye usage habits, avoid prolonged use of electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers, and avoid staying up late for extended periods.
