Why it matters
Identifying retinal biomarkers could aid in early diagnosis and understanding of multiple sclerosis, though this study does not prove their clinical utility or predictive value.
What this does not prove
Many retinal biomarkers are still experimental, facing issues like varied methodologies and lack of external validation, limiting their applicability.

findingsDerived from fundus photography, structural imaging, vascular imaging, and artificial intelligence-based image analysis, retinal biomarkers have been associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and related clinical outcomes.
limitationsThe majority of retinal biomarkers in Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, chronic kidney disease, and systemic risk prediction remain experimental because of heterogeneous methodologies, insufficient external validation, and insufficient evidence for incremental clinical utility.
