All participants underwent full ophthalmological examination, OCT/OCTA scans, and disability scoring (EDSS) at baseline and after 12 and 24 months. OCT data were analyzed for retinal layer thickness, while OCTA assessed microvascular perfusion in the retinal capillary plexuses and choriocapillaris.

Additionally, superficial retinal capillary layer perfusion density decreased more rapidly at - 0.44% per year (P = 0.006) in patients with MS.
