"Optic neuritis (ON), a common manifestation of multiple sclerosis (MS), often results in optic atrophy, a clinical finding characterized by optic disc pallor and retinal vessel attenuation. To date, there is no objective in vivo method for measuring the magnitude of pallor or vascular attenuation. We sought to characterize retinal vascular oximetry (oxygen saturation [SO2] and partial oxygen pressure [PO2]) and retinal vessel diameter in a cohort of MS patients using a novel technology - the Oxymap® T1 Retinal Oximeter.
