Can eye photos detect early Alzheimer's disease?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a special camera (OCT) to take pictures of the retina (the back of your eye) to see if it can detect Alzheimer's disease very early. You may be eligible if you are either cognitively normal or have mild cognitive impairment, and have already had a test for Alzheimer's-related brain changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are either cognitively normal or have mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
- You have already had a special brain scan (amyloid PET) or a spinal tap that measured amyloid and tau proteins.
- Both of your eyes are generally healthy, with only age-typical issues like needing glasses, mild cataracts, or past cataract surgery.
- You are not pregnant or a prisoner.

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.
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, low-cost eye scanner to look at the back of the eye (retina) in people with early Alzheimer's or mild memory problems. It aims to find changes that might help with early detection.
This study uses a special camera to photograph the back of your eye in detail. Researchers believe changes in the eye may reflect brain diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, and this imaging could help detect these conditions earlier.
This study uses pictures of the back of your eye (retinal imaging) to look for differences in people with neurodegenerative diseases and compares them with people without these conditions. It may help researchers understand eye changes that could connect to brain or nerve health.
This trial uses a type of eye scan (OCT) to look at the retina in people with brain conditions like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or migraines. It aims to see if these scans can help doctors learn more about the disease and monitor it over time.
