Objective We investigated possible abnormalities in the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and
macula lutea of patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive
impairment (MCI) and tested for any correlation with the severity of dementia. Methods A
total of 72 subjects, comprising 25 AD patients, 26 MCI patients and 21 healthy individuals
(controls) were enrolled in this study. The thickness of the RNFL and volume of the macula
lutea was determined using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Results When compared …
