Can Multiple Sclerosis Affect A Teenager?

Can a 14 yr old boy get ms? He is having severe problems with the optic nerve in his left eye only. Finally after months, Vanderbilt in Nashville did a MRI today. He has just being sent from Optometrist to optomologist with no help other than a pair of glasses and one contact. His right eye is 20 20 vision. He is our special Grandson. My Father had ms and died at 51 yrs of age.
