We evaluated the incidence and timing of the recurrence in patients with ON after the first episode. Lower probability of recurrence was observed in patients with longer recurrence-free follow-up period. However, monitoring for recurrence is needed even in patients with a single episode of ON due to the increasing tendency of the estimated cumulative incidence of recurrence over many years.
