In one study, sensitivity increased from 85% to 95%. Under the revised criteria, optic nerve lesions may be documented using MRI, optical coherence tomography (OCT), or visual evoked potentials (VEP).

For OCT, an optic nerve lesion was defined as an intereye thickness asymmetry (IEA) of at least 5 μm for peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) and at least 4 μm for ganglion cell and ...

Axons -- nerve fibres -- in the adult central nervous system (CNS) do not normally regenerate after injury and disease, meaning that damage is often irreversible.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) This diagnostic test measures the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer, which is thinned by optic neuritis.

Optical coherence tomography is beneficial for measuring visual changes and the impact of comorbidities in MS, NMOSD, and ...
