“…However, it is hard to exclude subclinical ON clinically, which occurs with high incidence in patients with MS. [3][4][5] The averaged thicknesses of the GCIPL and pRNFL that are used in intereye approaches 11,13,14 may not be sensitive enough to identify optic nerve damage. Because the distribution of the neural fiber and ganglion cells are not even, [15][16][17] and the alterations in these neural layers are not even. 15,16 The average thicknesses of these layers using arbitrary partitions, such as the elliptical partition, which is commonly used in the clinic, may not well define the focal thickness alterations 11,13,14 and could render the moderate discrimination power when using the intereye thickness difference approach.…”
