Ophthalmic findings are common features of neurodegenerative disorders, and have emerged as potentially useful biomarkers of disease progression in several conditions. Kersten et al. describe the various afferent visual system and other ophthalmic features of inherited neurodegenerative disorders, focusing on the expanding role of optical coherence tomography in diagnostic imaging of the retina and optic nerve head. They also discuss the ophthalmic manifestations and treatment implications of mitochondrial dysfunction—a feature of many inherited neurodegenerative diseases.
