A member asked:
I have pronounced nasal thinning on the oct eye examination and i do not have glaucoma, could this mean that i had optic neuritis without knowing it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OCT is an excellent tool used frequently in neurological management, especially for multiple sclerosis. Suggest you discuss your findings with an ophthalmologist and even, if necessary, a neurologist. A spinal tap may be needed.
