Abstract

The authors report clinical features of ocular manifestations in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), those that affect
the visual sensory system and those that affect the ocular motor system. Disturbances of visual sensory function
may precede, manifest coincidentally or follow the neurologic manifestations. Visual disturbances are common in MS
and often a result of acute demyelinating optic neuropathy. Careful examination of MS patients, who have never suffered
optic neuritis, may also reveal asymptomatic visual loss. Asymptomatic visual loss seems to be a universal feature
of MS. Patients with multiple sclerosis may develop disorders of fixation, ocular motility and ocular alignment.
Disorders of ocular motor system are frequently the initial sign of multiple sclerosis and occur as its presenting sign
weeks, month, or years before other neurologic symptoms and signs develop.
