Retrospective OCT Analysis of Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Modulator Fingolimod in Multiple Sclerosis by Wilson X. Wang, MD, MPhil, Helen Rossmiller, BS, Henok Getahun, BS, Aditya Santoki, BS, Dana C. Perantie, MPH, Robert T. Naismith, MD, Rajendra S. Apte, MD, PhD

“…Purpose: Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) plays a pivotal role in cells as a bioactive lipid mediator, with emerging evidence suggesting that it may play a role in retinal ganglion cell survival, axonal growth, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) barrier function, and photoreceptor function. While previous studies have documented associated ophthalmic effects such as fingolimod-associated macular edema, the specific impact of S1P receptor modulators on inner and outer retinal layer thicknesses requires further elucidation. …”
