Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS), including the brain and spinal cord.

Why some people develop MS is not fully known. What is known is that something triggers the immune system to attack the spinal cord and brain. In people with MS, myelin, which protects the nerve fibers, becomes damaged in the CNS.

March is National Save Your Vision Month, and in our five-part blog series, we’re taking a look at common causes of vision loss in adulthood, eye exams, general eye health, and signs telling you to have your eyes checked.
​
In our last blog post, we looked at the complete eye exam and the recommended eye exam schedule for adults. That schedule exists for people with health eyes and good vision that may worsen slowly over time. If your vision or that of a loved one changes suddenly or frequently or you experience certain symptoms, waiting for your regular eye exam is not advisable. You should contact your eye doctor immediately, as they may signal an eye problem and should be followed with a visit to the eye doctor as soon as possible.
