I would imagine you have a characteristic appearance of the fundus which
is attributed to myelinated nerve fibers (also in this context sometimes
called medullated nerve fibers) radiating from the optic disc. This is
easily visible on routine examination using an ophthalmoscope. It is a
completely benign phenomenon and you should not worry. It has absolutely
nothing to do with MS.
If you are still uncertain I would have thought the sensible thing to do
would be to go back to the optometrist and ask for a more detailed
explanation.
