Dementia has become one of the world’s most pressing health challenges. Millions of people live with the condition, and the global costs reach into the hundreds of billions each year. Doctors often ...

Researchers have identified novel retinal vascular signatures that are significantly associated with the risk for a first stroke. When combined with age and sex, these retinal “fingerprints” predicted ...

In under a minute, an artificial intelligence program can take a picture of the back of a person’s eye and—by analyzing the strength of the blood vessels that feed the retina—find clues that may point ...

The retina is the only organ where blood vessels are directly seen without any invasive measures. A South Korean startup, Mediwhale, wants to use artificial intelligence (AI) to diagnose kidney ...

The research is promising, say experts, but needs further study before it’s turned into a diagnostic tool. The research is promising, say experts, but needs further study before it’s turned into a ...

Consultation with optometrist with optical coherence tomography OCT scan to create pictures of the back of eye. Examination of eyes of patient using optical coherence tomograph Eye scans looking at ...

Researchers at Laval University and the CERVO Brain Research Center in Québec have developed a groundbreaking, non-invasive method to diagnose Parkinson’s disease (PD) early using a simple eye scan.

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs), single-gene disorders affecting the retina, are very difficult to diagnose since they are uncommon and involve changes in one of many candidate genes. Outside ...

British researchers may have found a way to diagnose Parkinson's disease several years sooner. Researchers at University College London and Moorfields Eye Hospital say that eye scans may be able to ...

Another milestone in eye imaging has been achieved. Polish scientists have developed a technique that enables visualization of the retina and choroid at discrete depths. Modern imaging of eye tissues ...
