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 looks at whether personalized treatment plans can help older adults who have both mild memory problems and vision impairment. It aims to slow down further decline in thinking and eyesight.
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.
This study looks at how younger and older adults use their side vision to see and understand what is around them. It may help find ways to keep thinking skills sharp as we age.
This study looks at brain scans and eye/eye-nerve findings to understand why thinking can change with aging. It may help researchers connect eye and brain changes, which could guide future ways to prevent or detect dementia early.
