Descriptive analyses such as frequencies, median and interquartile range were utilized. Fishers' Exact test was used to test for association between categorical variables. A P-value of <0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Result: Thirty-four patients with optic neuritis were seen among a total of 25,224 new patients giving a proportion of 0.13%. Of the 34 patients with optic neuritis, 10 were males (male to female ratio of 1:2.4). Their ages were from 3 years to 69 years (median age 31.5 years and interquartile range 26). There was unilateral involvement in 23 (67.6%) and ocular pain in 11 (32.4%) patients. Visual acuity of 6/60 or worse at presentation was seen in 33 (73.3%) eyes. Papillitis was seen in 18 (52.9%), retrobulbar neuritis 12 (35.3%) and neuroretinitis 4 (11.8%) patients. Neurologic examination was normal at presentation in all the patients. Conclusion: This study showed that optic neuritis affected more females, was more unilateral, and there was a low incidence of ocular pain. Also, optic disc swelling was a more frequent feature, and there was no association with multiple sclerosis or other etiology at first presentation.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0189-9171</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2468-8363</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.4103/njo.njo_12_20</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Wolters Kluwer India Pvt.
