Sight and MS webinar

MS can also have an effect on parts of your brain that controls how your eyes move. This can cause symptoms of double vision. Other common sight conditions associated with MS is Optic Neuritis, involuntary eye movement & light sensitivity.

Our webinars offer a safe, fact-based space that you can attend anonymously. These events are for anyone affected by MS; whether you are living with MS, a friend, family member, carer or colleague of someone living with MS or a healthcare professional.
