Changes In Blood Vessels Shown Through Retinal Scans Could Indicate Early Stages Of Alzheimer's

When you hear “retinal scan,” you might picture biometric security software – almost like something out of a James Bond film. However, a new study shows that retinal scans could serve as a means for understanding Alzheimer’s disease. The research revolves around retinal scans, detecting changes in blood vessels of patients with a crucial Alzheimer’s risk gene that could, finally, shed some light on early Alzheimer’s detection.
