Hello
It seems from the history that you are diagnosed with CML and you are having inflamed optic nerves.
Infiltration of the optic nerves by CML can cause inflamed optic nerved. Few drugs can cause toxic optic neuropathy.
Hence fo mention the drugs which you are taking so that I can advice you.
Hence it can be caused by CML or by drugs and needs to be confirmed.
