Alzheimer disease is hard, long and expensive to diagnose. In order to help the clinician, a new biomarker in Alzheimer disease seems to be very useful. The retina, as a window of the brain, could offer a new way to diagnose this common disease. Indeed, a retinal atrophy could especially appear in Alzheimer disease. Besides, many aspects about retinal alteration, visual function and their link with the disease deserve to be more explored. So as to fill these gaps, a new study about retinal specificity in Alzheimer disease appears to be relevant.
