Eye scans may spot Alzheimer's early
NCT ID NCT03761381
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether special eye scans can detect signs of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Researchers will use two non-invasive imaging devices to look for blood vessel changes and protein deposits in the retina. The study involves 20 participants, including people with mild dementia and healthy volunteers, to see if these eye changes match the disease.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple, non-invasive eye test to help diagnose Alzheimer's disease earlier.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study (20 participants) that only looks for differences, not a treatment. The findings may not apply to everyone or lead to a reliable diagnostic tool.
