Eye scans could spot Alzheimer's years before symptoms

NCT ID NCT03233646

Summary

This study aims to see if detailed pictures of the back of the eye (the retina) can reveal early signs of brain diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Researchers will use special, non-invasive camera scans on 2000 people, both with and without these conditions. The goal is to develop a simple eye test that could help doctors detect these diseases much earlier.
