Could a cheap eye scan spot Alzheimer's early?
NCT ID NCT05530460
Summary
Researchers tested a new, low-cost eye scanner to see if it could take pictures of the back of the eye (retina) as clearly as expensive commercial machines. The long-term hope is that this scanner could one day help detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease by spotting tiny changes in the retina. For this initial test, 11 healthy volunteers had their eyes scanned with both the new device and a standard machine to compare the image quality.
