[Progress of ocular motor and structures in multiple sclerosis patients]

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology
• Neurology
• Neuroscience

Background:

• Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a central nervous system demyelinating disease.
• MS frequently impacts the ocular region, leading to eye structure and function alterations.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review and summarize research on MS-related changes in ocular motor function, cornea, retinal structure, retinal blood flow, and the optic nerve.
• To offer new insights for clinical research in ophthalmology and neurology.

Main Methods:

• Literature review and synthesis of existing research.
• Analysis of studies focusing on ocular manifestations of MS.

Main Results:

• MS significantly affects ocular motor control.
• Structural and functional changes in the cornea, retina, and optic nerve are common in MS patients.
• Alterations in retinal blood flow are associated with MS progression.

Conclusions:

• MS-induced ocular changes are multifaceted, impacting various eye structures and functions.
• Understanding these changes is crucial for diagnosis and management of MS.
• Further research can enhance clinical approaches to vision impairment in MS.
