Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common non-traumatic cause of disability in young people, with vision loss in the disease representing the second largest contributor to disability. In particular, African-American patients with MS are noted to have lower vision than their Caucasian counterparts. In this review, we examine the disparities in eye diseases in the MS population with our gaps in knowledge and discuss the underlying nature of pathological disparities.
多发性硬化症（MS）是年轻人非创伤性致残的最常见原因，该疾病导致的视力丧失是致残的第二大因素。特别是，患有MS的非裔美国患者的视力低于白人患者。在本综述中，我们研究了MS人群眼部疾病的差异以及我们在知识方面的差距，并讨论了病理差异的潜在本质。
