Answer 1

I'm sorry, it is difficult to help you with little information.

It sounds as though you may have had 'optic neuritis'. This condition causes a sudden loss of vision in one eye which recovers after a few months.  It can come back again.  Google for more information about this condition.

Some people with optic neuritis eventually go on to develop Multiple Sclerosis, it sounds like the medecine may have been 'beta-interferon', a treatment for Multiple Sclerosis.

It is too hard to help you without much information online

You need to find a doctor you can trust who can explain your diagnosis and treatment to you so you can understand it.
