| Description |
Optic neuritis is a significant cause of vision loss among young people, and can often be the presenting manifestation of multiple sclerosis. New ocular imaging techniques allow us to measure the effects of nerve fiber layer, and therefore axon loss, after an acute optic neuritis event. Optic neuritis represents an ideal model system to study the effects of axon loss in patients with and without multiple sclerosis. |
