Eye movement tests for Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with Alzheimer's disease move their eyes compared to healthy people. The goal is to develop simple, non-invasive eye-tracking tests that could help diagnose Alzheimer's disease earlier and more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be able to read in English or French.
- You must be able to read instructions on a screen at a normal reading distance, with glasses or contacts if you use them.
- For people with Alzheimer's: you need a confirmed diagnosis of probable Alzheimer's disease.
- For healthy volunteers: you must not have any significant brain disease like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or a non-Alzheimer's dementia.
- You must not have certain eye conditions (like glaucoma, cataracts, or macular edema) that would interfere with the eye movement tests.

This study checks how well new eye-tracking software can measure eye movements in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help researchers track changes in how the nervous system works using a simple camera-based eye test.
This study is testing a new eye camera to see if it can help find early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It is for people aged 55 and older who either have mild to moderate Alzheimer's or do not have Alzheimer's.
This study uses a special eye scan to look for abnormal protein deposits in the retina, which may be linked to Alzheimer's disease. It is for people who are generally healthy but have mild memory concerns or mild cognitive impairment.
This study uses special eye scans and blood tests to find early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It aims to detect the disease before memory loss becomes severe, so treatment can start sooner.
This study uses video recordings of your eye movements to learn more about Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers better tell Parkinson’s apart from other movement conditions and understand how the disease affects the brain early on.
This study uses detailed eye imaging (an eye scan) to look for signs related to probable Alzheimer’s disease and mild dementia. It may help researchers understand whether eye scans can reflect brain changes and improve detection.
