Eyes that often serve as the entrance to the world, in one of the latest studies are the natural indicators of a serious mental state called dementia. Eyes up to 12 years old can indicate this condition before the symptoms appear.
In a discovery that has enjoyed scientists and the world, researchers in Norfolk have claimed to inspect more than 8,600 healthy and fit people over the years. As it arrived at the time of conclusion, scientists saw that 537 of them had already developed dementia.
All of them had paved the way for this situation, which was not so big, but still considered revolutionary and innovative: it was how his eyes reacted to a feast visual test years ago.
Initially, participants were asked to complete the “visual sensitivity” task.
In which they were expected to quickly indicate a triangle formed by three dots at speed. Press a button on a screen and then in response. This seemed to be a general routine test, but the researchers discovered a similar pattern in each of them.
Which was that later people developing dementia were found slow in response during bear visual tests. This was common among them.
What does dementia have to do with eyesight
Experts at the University of Lafboro, who led the study, have found a response to the brain’s architecture.
In Alzheimer’s disease, it has been noted that dangerous amyloid plaques begin to target areas that are associated with visual processing, long ago before attacking the centers for memory.
This has indicated that the eyes are prone to reflecting slight neurological malfunctions or growth, the mind develops this condition many years ago.
These results are forced us to reconsider the early signs of Alzheimer’s, “Dr. Martin Gold said, one of the leading scientists.
He said that we have always looked at the memory test to catch this disease, but our eyes can tell the story long ago, before we forget ourselves.
If this view is seen delay and proves to be a solid symptom, there is a great possibility that it can change the game of dementia diagnosis.
And the fact is that it has been observed that various visual symptoms such as difficulty focusing, a difficult time to identify the face or even the poor perception of colors is known as one of the most common symptoms in dementia patients, adding more to the dangerous body of latent search evidence which says that Alzheimmer begins, before it fulfills the mind and memory feds.
People with dementia have a difficult time to separate or identify different colors. The actions of their eyes can be challenging that they can create quotes work that involves seeing, which is almost everything, it becomes too much tax.
Other observations that are dementia, who have dementia, recognize people separately from those who do not have it, people who do not have disease, they usually look at the eyes, nose and mouth to identify someone, while people with disease often flow towards unrelated background objects that challenge them to identify.
“We can sometimes tell something wrong how a patient’s eyes move,” a physician involved in the study, “They look around, but it is as if they are not seeing.” In addition to research, there are even more speculation that an intention-oriented eye movement can help maintain memory.
