The aim of this study was to investigate longitudinal changes in the inner retina after subsiding of acute demyelinating ON and to identify the factors associated with such changes.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>In this multicenter retrospective observational study, we reviewed the medical records of 77 patients with ON, including 23 with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder with aquaporin 4 (AQP4)-immunoglobulin G (IgG) (AQP4 group), 23 with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-antibody-associated disease (MOG group), 18 with multiple sclerosis (MS group), and 13 with idiopathic ON (iON group). We measured the thickness of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) and the macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (mGCIPL) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) at baseline and at follow-up examinations (mean follow-up duration, 29.6 ± 8.6 months; mean number of OCT, 4.2 ± 1.2) in the absence of ON recurrence.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The estimated rate of pRNFL thinning in the AQP4, MOG, MS, and iON groups was 0.66 (95% confidence interval, 0.35-0.97), 0.35 (0.04-0.66), 0.53 (0.16-0.90), and 0.25 (-0.18 to 0.68) μm/year, respectively, indicating that, in the iON group in contrast to the other groups, there was no significant decrease of pRNFL thickness.
