Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common non-traumatic cause of disability in young people, with vision loss in the disease representing the second largest contributor to disability. In particular, African-American patients with MS are noted to have lower vision than their Caucasian counterparts. In this review, we examine the disparities in eye diseases in the MS population with our gaps in knowledge and discuss the underlying nature of pathological disparities.
