The AVD in oxygen saturation is altered in patients with acute ON. In the early stage of ON, AVD could reflect inflammatory and metabolic changes in the affected eye. Therefore, oximetry could be used as another diagnostic method in MS patients in suspicion of ON. This result would be promising for future investigation in this field.
