This study aims to determine if alternative methods like tangent screen perimetry or Baby Vision Screener (BaViS) can be used for such patients.

- - The study aimed to analyze how myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-associated antibody disease (MOGAD) affects employment among adults internationally by measuring job loss, hours worked, and wages.
- - Researchers gathered data from 117 adults diagnosed with MOGAD across 13 countries, finding a decline in employment from 63.2% before diagnosis to 48.7% after, and a drop in average work hours from 31.6 to 19.5 hours per week.
- - Results showed that living in a high-income country was linked to better employment outcomes post-MOGAD, while factors like depressed mood and pain were associated with increased unemployment and reduced work hours.
