Additionally, although neuro-ophthalmic evaluation for associated optic neuritis is often part of multiple sclerosis disease management, the ophthalmologist must be careful to not neglect associated vasculitis or uveitis that may also cause retinal abnormalities[bjo.bmj.com]
A thorough examination of the retina, with appropriate imaging when indicated, is an important component in the workup and management of all optic neuropathies, and patients with retinopathy should have periodic OCT scanning of the retinal nerve fibre[bjo.bmj.com]
