Abstract Background Morphological changes of retina in patients with Wilson's disease (WD) can be found by optical coherence tomography (OCT), and such changes had significant differences between neurological forms (NWD) and hepatic forms (HWD) of WD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between morphological parameters of retina and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesions, course of disease, type of disease, and sexuality in WD. Methods A total of 46 WD patients and 40 health controls (HC) were recruited in this study. A total of 42 WD patients were divided into different groups according to clinical manifestations, course of disease, sexuality, and brain MRI lesions. We employed the Global Assessment Scale to assess neurological severity of WD patients. All WD patients and HC underwent retinal OCT to assess the thickness of inner limiting membrane (ILM) layer to retinal pigment epithelium layer and inner retina layer (ILM to inner plexiform layer, ILM–IPL). Results Compared to HWD, NWD had thinner superior parafovea zone (108.07 ± 6.89 vs. 114.40 ± 5.54 μm, p
