The condition that you suffered from is called optic neuritis. The treatment that was given to you was right. Unfortunately, the recovery is highly unpredictable, there is a phase where the recovery is very fast followed by slow phase and then stabalization. Just keep following regularly with both neurologist and ophthalmologist.

If its optic neuritis then a MRI should be done to rule out multiple sclerosis which will require long term treatment.
