Longitudinal Study of Vision and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Multiple Sclerosis
Ann Neurol 67:749-760, Talman,L.S., et al, 2010
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Progressive RNFL thinning occurs as a function of time in some patients with MS, even in the absence of ON, and is associated with clinically significant visual loss. These findings are consistent with subclinical axonal loss in the anterior visual pathway in MS, and support the use of OCT and low-contrast acuity as methods to evaluate the effectiveness of putative neuroprotection protocols.
