A study has found that certain changes in the eyes could be one of the first signs of the cruel illness
Dementia isn’t a specific disease but an umbrella term for a range of illnesses - of which Alzheimer’s is the most common.
A study from the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences found that retinal scans can detect key changes in blood vessels that may provide an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease.Dr Jørn Slot Jørgensen, leading ophthalmologist at Laser Eye Clinic London, told the Express: “Some people think that visiting an ophthalmologist is only necessary if you have an eye condition or need vision correction. However, this is a widespread misconception that also applies to medical situations in general.
He said: “In some cases, these signs may be subtle and may not be immediately recognisable. However, in other cases, they may become noticeable enough to prompt further investigation.”
