“Unlocking the Eyes: How Early Changes in Vision Could Signal Dementia”

As we age, subtle changes in our health can often go unnoticed until they become more pronounced. But when it comes to dementia, the early signs may not always be as obvious as forgetfulness or confusion. New research suggests that one of the first clues of the illness could actually be found in the eyes. According to an article posted on MSN, changes in eye movement and the way we respond to visual stimuli might offer a glimpse into what’s happening in the brain long before cognitive decline becomes evident. In this post, we explore how monitoring eye health could be a key step in detecting dementia earlier, and why these often-overlooked signs might provide a critical window for intervention.
