Recent studies hint that subtle shifts in the peripheral retina could flag Alzheimer’s disease years before brain damage or ...

The outer area of the retina, or the peripheral retina, could offer a window into an early detection of Alzheimer’s disease long before irreversible brain damage occurs, and a routine eye exam may ...

A recent study suggests that routine eye exams focusing on the peripheral retina could enable the early detection of Alzheimer's disease. By examining changes in retinal support cells, researchers aim ...
