Could a simple eye test spot Alzheimer's?

NCT ID NCT04794634

Summary

This study investigated whether a non-invasive eye scan could help diagnose Alzheimer's disease. Researchers compared the thickness of specific layers at the back of the eye in 55 people with Alzheimer's, Lewy body disease, and healthy individuals. The goal was to see if thinning of these retinal layers could serve as a new, easier-to-measure sign of Alzheimer's.
