What Is Ocular Myasthenia Gravis?
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease that affects the transmission of signals from nerves to muscles. The name myasthenia gravis comes from Greek and Latin words meaning “grave muscle weakness.” However, most cases of myasthenia gravis are not as “grave” as the name implies, and most people with myasthenia gravis can expect to live normal or nearly normal lives.
