Retinal nerve fiber layer structure abnormalities in early Alzheimer's disease: Evidence in optical coherence tomography

Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients often have visual disorders which may be due to retinal nerve degenerative changes. The aim of the current study was to determine the thickness changes of retina nerve fibers with optical coherence tomography (OCT) in AD patients. The OCT was used to assess the...
