Would an ophthalmologist be able to detect multiple sclerosis eye symptoms?

Yes: If you are having eye issues, an ophthalmologist can diagnose them and occasionally treat them. He will probably refer you to either a neuro-ophthalmologist or a neurologist, both of which specialize in problems related to ms.

Yes.: Multiple sclerosis is associated with several ocular findings that can be diagnosed by an ophthalmologist or neuro-ophthalmologist. Optic neuritis can be both a presenting symptom and a complication of ms. Other eye findings can include motility disorders of the eyes and retinal vasculitis.

Couple ways: If there has been optic neuritis, there may be presence of optic atrophy, and use of an eye test, optical coherent tomography, can demonstrate changes over retinal nerve fibre layer. Presence of an anterior uveitis called Pars Planitis, might be another clue. However, double vision, abnormal nystagmus, uncoordinated eye movements, loss of portions of vision are other signs.
