Longitudinal Study of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness and Macular Volume in Patients With Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder

Abstract

Unlike in MS eyes, ongoing RNFL and macular thinning secondary to brain and optic nerve atrophy could not be observed in NMOSD eyes during an observation period of 4 years. This might be an additional marker to distinguish these 2 diseases. However, to confirm this finding, more long-term data are needed to compare these 2 diseases longitudinally.
