Advance in Visual Dysfunction for Alzheimer's Disease (review) / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

In recent years, it is found that β-amyloid deposites in the retina of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), synchronizing with intracranial changes. AD patients lose their visual acuity and visual contrast sensitivity and demonstrate glaucoma-like visual field loss, color vision disorder, visual hallucination and visual space damage, etc. The retinas become thinner, the latency of electroretinogram prolongs with amplitude decrease, and the latency of visual-evoked potential prolongs.
