Abstract

The etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neurodegenerative diseases is very complex, thus it may be associated with multiple factors operating simultaneously or in cascade scheme. The essence of the disease is multifocal scattered damage to the central nervous system (CNS). The MS incidence varies 50/105–100/105 depending on latitude. Neurodegenerative diseases, dependent on the location of pathological focus areas, can produce a number of diverse ophthalmic symptoms. The authors present a contemporary look at the possibilities of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in patients with selected neurodegenerative diseases, with particular attention to patients with optic neuropathy, in the course of MS, by emphasizing the role of ophthalmologist care and accentuating the importance of multidisciplinary co-operation in making a correct diagnosis.
