A complete ophthalmologic exam should be performed.
Undergo special vision testing = reduced color and contrast of the vision in the eye

A Thorough eye examination
A detailed examination of the entire eye with special attention to vision and pupils, as well as an examination of the optic nerves. The ophthalmologist will likely, but not always test color vision, contrast sensitivity, and perform a visual field or imaging of the nerve fiber layer of the retina with optical coherence tomography (OCT). A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically performed to confirm the diagnosis and to determine a patient's risk for developing multiple sclerosis, as optic neuritis is associated with MS.
Only a doctor knows. You will have eye pain and blindness.
You need to see an eye doctor who can test for optic neuritis by examining your pupils and color vision.
