The main therapy to drug treatment, and they use to glucocorticoid-based integrated treatment programs, we has been used in clinical ophthalmology on the current drugs, including corticosteroids, antiviral drugs and other drug treatment status reviewed. [Keywords:] optic neuritis, corticosteroids, antiviral drugs Abstract ?r Optic neuritis (ON) is a kind of optic neuropathy which can obstruct the conduction of optic nerve and result in a series of changes in visual functions. The main treatment of the ON is the medication, especially, the application of glucocorticosteroid in a combined therapy . The present paper summarized the recent advance of medicines which had been used in ophthalmologic clinic, including glucocorticosteroid, antiviral drugs and other medicines. ?r KEYWORDS: optic neuritis; glucocorticosteroid; antiviral drug 0 Introduction Optic neuritis (optic neuritis, ON complex causes, the most common by the demyelination, infection and autoimmune diseases caused by [1,2], in recent years, reported incidence of infection and closely related to optic neuritis [35]. Its incidence mechanism of the optic nerve and nerve tissue swelling caused by internal pressure increased axonal transport obstruction of local ischemia and hypoxia-related, decompensated nerve fibers and that some or all of the optic nerve atrophy, seriously affecting the visual function. In recent years, antiviral drugs for optic inflammation and other clinical treatment of cranial nerve lesions are also case reports [69]. to adopt a steroid-based anti-inflammatory, microcirculation, nutrition, nerve support, if necessary, combined with antibiotics, antivirals and other comprehensive treatment program, reported in the liter
