Symptoms of RPON?
The most common symptom of RPON is pain that come and go. The episodes of pain vary in length, while some might last a few hours, others could linger for weeks. In some cases, RPON symptoms can become permanent.

- Weak muscles around the eye
- Pain in the eyes
- Double vision
- Paralyzed muscles around the eyes
- Nausea [2]
