OBJECTIVES: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) may represent a transition to early
Alzheimer's disease (AD). The retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) is composed of axons
originating in retinal ganglion cells that eventually form the optic nerves. Previous studies
have shown that degenerative changes occur in optic nerve fibers and manifested as
thinning of RNFL in patients with AD. The objective of this study was to assess the
relationship between MCI, AD and loss of RNFL. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this study …
