Scientists have come out with a simple eye test that may prove to be good at monitoring patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).

The study found that people with MS relapses, portrayed much faster thinning of their retina than people with MS who did not suffer relapses.
The study also found that people with MS and inflammatory lesions visible on brain scans, portrayed accelerated retinal thinning than those who did not have visible brain scans.
Scientists found this eye test to be extremely useful in monitoring victims of MS.
