| Description |
In the AFFIRM trial, natalizumab reduced sustained visual loss by low-contrast letter acuity (LCA), but not highcontrast visual acuity (HCA). Natalizumab was associated with improvements in disability and quality of life; we determined whether similar improvements could be demonstrated for vision. |
