Scientists studied the eyes of people with and without Alzheimer's disease to determine if their organs were different.
Alzheimer’s disease could one day be diagnosed with a test assessing the blood vessels in the eye, researchers believe.
Alzheimer’s disease patients were found to have decreased retinal blood vessel density in the superficial capillary plexus of the retina, as well as decreased thickness in one of the retinal layers. There is currently no cure for Alzheimer's disease, and scientists do not know its cause. Identifying the condition in an individual as soon as possible can help doctors to reverse and treat some symptoms.
In addition, the cross-sectional nature of the study—wherein participants were studied in a snapshot of time—meant changes couldn’t be observed over a longer period. It also wasn't possible to prove the symptoms were caused by Alzheimer’s.
