New research, partially funded by the National MS Society, links thinning of a retinal layer in the eyes to more rapid MS progression. A team at the Johns Hopkins MS Center followed 164 people with MS, using eye scans every six months for an average of 21 months. Will this new discovery speed MS treatments moving forward?
