What Causes Blurred Vision When Suffering From Optic Neuritis?

I was recently diagnosed with MS. Optic neuritis in my right eye was my first symptom about 4 and a half months ago. My second was total numbness in my right arm about 2 months ago. Both were treated with IV steroids (methylprednisolone). Recently the vision in my right eye has begun to blur again. I m also seeing lights when it s dark and there is a glare making it a little difficult to read off a computer screen. Should I go see my neurologist and get treatment ASAP? Or should I just wait and see if it clears up on it s own? Will it cause permanent damage if not treated?
