Cells along the outer edge of the retina begin to swell and multiply before memory problems appear. That subtle shift, ...

Outer area of the retina, or the peripheral retina, could offer a window into an early detection of Alzheimer’s disease long ...

We’ve been looking at the wrong part of the eye. New research shows the earliest signs of Alzheimer's are hidden at the very edges of the retina.

Emerging research suggests early signs of Alzheimer’s disease may appear in the peripheral retina. Experts say Optical ...

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

Previous studies have shown that amyloid accumulation in the retina mirrors similar deposits in the brain, suggesting the eye may reflect early disease processes. However, most clinical exams focus on ...

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 ...

Q: I had a routine eye exam by my ophthalmologist, and she found I had an atrophic retinal hole in the outside part of my eye. She said not to worry about it and we would just follow it for now. But I ...

Researchers have identified distinct differences among the cells comprising a tissue in the retina that is vital to human visual perception. The scientists from the National Eye Institute (NEI) ...

Researchers have identified distinct differences among the cells comprising a tissue in the retina that is vital to human visual perception. The scientists discovered five subpopulations of retinal ...

The eyes—specifically, the outer area of the retina—may provide a window into early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) long before irreversible brain damage has occurred, according to new research ...
