A simple eye test may offer a fast and easy way to monitor patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), medical experts say in the journal Neurology.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a scan that measures the thickness of the lining at the back of the eye - the retina.
It takes a few minutes per eye and can be performed in a doctor's surgery.
In a trial involving 164 people with MS, those with thinning of their retina had earlier and more active MS.
