Eye changes may be early warning for Alzheimer’s
Eye changes may be early warning for Alzheimer’s Researchers have identified that an eye condition affecting the retina, the light-sensing tissue in the back of the eye, may serve as an early indicator for Alzheimer’s disease. Their findings offer new insights into the potential use of retinal changes as early biomarkers for Alzheimer’s, which could […]
