Eye Imaging to Detect Brain Disease Markers
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 30 years old
- You have been diagnosed with dementia or a neurodegenerative disease (such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or Lewy body dementia), or you are a healthy control participant
- You have had testing to confirm your diagnosis—such as genetic tests, blood tests, brain imaging, or spinal fluid tests (unless you have Parkinson's or Lewy body dementia confirmed by a neurologist)
- Your eyesight is at least 6/60 (corrected with glasses or contacts) in both eyes, and you don't have severe eye problems like advanced macular degeneration, glaucoma, or diabetic eye disease
- You can attend the Centre for Eye Research Australia and bring a friend or family member with you
- You are able to understand the study and consent to participate

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 detailed eye scans to look for changes that might relate to memory problems. You may be able to join if you are being seen for memory concerns and meet the health and eye-scan requirements.
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 trial uses a special eye scan to look for changes that might be linked to dementia. It is a simple, non-invasive test that could help find dementia earlier.
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.
