Laser vision tests for memory and movement concerns
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special laser-based vision test can help detect early thinking and movement changes in older adults. Researchers want to see if this test is useful for identifying people at risk for cognitive decline before serious memory problems develop.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older
- You have noticed some memory or thinking changes, and you walk more slowly than you used to
- You live independently at home (not in a facility)
- You are able to understand instructions and complete vision and movement tests
- You do not have a diagnosis of dementia or severe mental health conditions
- You do not have significant vision loss, neurological disorders, severe tremors, or balance problems

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how older adults walk and balance when doing two tasks at once (like talking while walking). Researchers want to understand how mild memory concerns affect movement, which could help catch early brain changes.
This study tests a special walking pattern called the figure-of-8 walk in older adults who are noticing memory problems but don't have dementia yet. Researchers want to understand how walking ability connects to thinking and memory changes.
This study tests a combined brain and walking exercise program for older adults who have normal thinking but show early signs of thinking or memory problems and slower walking. The goal is to see if this training can improve memory and movement, and potentially prevent further decline.
This study looks at how personalized medicine—treatments tailored to your specific situation—can help older adults who have both vision problems and mild memory issues. It aims to find better ways to manage these conditions together.
This study uses a virtual reality driving task to measure thinking skills in healthy older adults and people with mild memory problems. It may help find early signs of cognitive decline.
This study tests a quick, noninvasive eye test that measures how well you see in the dark, which can be an early sign of dry AMD. Researchers want to see if the test relates to everyday tasks like reading or driving at night.
