Could a simple eye test spot the early stages of Alzheimer's?

Press/Media: Research

Description

A simple eye test could give early warning of people susceptible to Alzheimer's, it was claimed today.

Researchers at Lancaster University have found that those with the degenerative brain disease have difficulty with one particular test.

They also found that the inability to carry out the tests in those who had already been diagnosed with Alzheimer's was linked to lower memory function.
