Key takeaways:

Nerve fiber layer thickness had strong associations with MS phenotypes, particularly primary progressive.

Inner plexiform layer and ganglion cell layer were reduced in all MS subgroups.

Perspective from Lily Nguyen, OD, FAAO

Neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis can be monitored via OCT of inner retinal layers in the macular region, according to a study published in Frontiers in Neurology .

“Recent developments in the OCT software make it possible to identify and measure each retinal layer thickness separately and more reliably,” Ori Zahavi , a PhD student in the unit of optometry at Karolinska Institute in Sweden, and colleagues wrote. “The aim of the present study is to evaluate the structural loss of individual inner retinal layers and identify the most a
