Description Axonal degeneration during optic neuritis (ON) disease progression results in decreased retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness over time. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) may be used in ON and multiple sclerosis (MS) to quantitatively assess the afferent visual system for axonal loss, survival and response to treatment.
