OCT Retinal Imaging May Help Support Diagnosis of NMOSD

Measuring the retinal nerve layers by a non-invasive tool called optical coherence tomography may help to diagnose neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), especially in those who test negative for disease-related antibodies, according to a new study. Researchers found that nerve layers in the retina of people with NMOSD…

Retina’s Layers, Eye’s Blood Vessels May Distinguish NMOSD From MS

Examining the thickness of certain retinal layers in the eye, along with structural changes in the eyes’ blood vessels, can help differentiate neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) from multiple sclerosis (MS), a study found. Overall, two particular retinal layers — the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer…
