The BEAM study is researching ways to detect brain diseases early using eye tests and brain scans. Researchers will study the eyes and brains of people with memory problems to see if changes in the eyes can predict brain diseases like Alzheimer's. The study will use a machine called SD-OCT to take pictures of the eyes and PET scans to look at the brain.
Key Points:
- The study involves several visits over four months, including eye and brain tests, blood tests, and questionnaires.
- Participants must be 50-90 years old and able to speak English. They need to give written consent and be willing to follow study procedures.
- The study is non-invasive with minimal risks, focusing on how eye changes relate to brain health.
