  Some of the symptoms of optic neuritis include: Decreased visual acuity or vision loss Eye pain and impairment of color vision (dyschromatopsia)* *Often, eye pain resolves over a few days as visual loss begins. [chop.edu]

A complete workup including cranial imaging, lumbar puncture, and serologic evaluation in patients presenting with acute neuroretinitis is often necessary because treatments are directed toward the underlying pathogen. [lymeneteurope.org]

Evaluation of ON thus requires a brilliant clinical detail, appropriate laboratory workup and imaging. [neurologyindia.com]

Further workup may include CSF studies of cell count, glucose, protein, VDRL and electrophoresis evaluating for oligoclonal bands. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]
