“…Multiple sclerosis also affects the eyes, causing thinning of the nerve fiber layer (NFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner plexiform layer (IPL) and inner nuclear layer (INL) of the retina, reduced macular volume and optic neuritis (Cennamo et al, 2016;Petzold et al, 2017;Pearson et al, 2022;Usta and Gunay, 2023;Vujosevic et al, 2023) (summarized in Figure 1). Therefore, retinal imaging biomarkers are a growing area of interest for early detection and monitoring of MS. Spectral domain OCT has emerged as a valuable tool for investigating neurodegeneration in the retina and has demonstrated that increased thinning of the inner retinal layers is associated with worsening long-term disability in MS (Lambe et al, 2021;Bsteh et al, 2023;Gernert et al, 2023). OCT studies have also revealed that atrophy of the retinal NFL and GCL reflect brain atrophy in MS patients, particularly grey matter loss (Saidha et al, 2015;Cagol et al, 2023).…”
