Core Tip
Core Tip: When evaluating retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in patients with optic neuritis and myopia, it is essential to consider both direct and indirect effects on the RNFL. Additionally, it is important to closely monitor changes in RNFL thickness over time, as it may be influenced by both myopia and optic neuritis. Further research is needed to better understand the relationship between these conditions and their impact on RNFL thickness.
