Eye examination may show abnormal pupil responses, changes in the visual fields or eye movements, nystagmus (rapid eye movements) triggered by movement of the eye, decreased visual acuity, or abnormal findings on a fundoscopy (an examination of the internal structures of the eye).

Tests that indicate or confirm multiple sclerosis include:

• head MRI scan that shows scarring or a new lesion
• spine MRI scan that shows scarring or a new lesion
• lumbar puncture (spinal tap)
• CSF oligoclonal banding
• CSF IgG index
