Keep Your Eyes Wide Open: On Visual- and Vision-Related Measurements to Better Understand Multiple Sclerosis Pathophysiology

Conclusions: There have been great advances in therapeutic research in MS. However, the stratification of patients according to their prognosis and predictive outcomes in response to treatment is still in its infancy. The many facets of MS make it difficult to piece all the data together into one cohesive conclusion for the individual patient. The visual system, with our ability to assess both structure and function, offers a promising opportunity to study both pathophysiologic mechanisms and novel therapies.
