A benign form of multiple sclerosis (BMS) is not easily diagnosed, but changes of the retinal ganglion cell layer-inner plexiform layer (GCL-IPL) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) may be sensitive to the disease. The aim of this study was to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to investigate l...
