Researchers reported that the beta amyloid protein can be detected on an eye examination using fluorescent tags either in the lens or the retina of the eye. It was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease & Other Dementias® (AJA). It is thought that this test can predict the disease decades in advance of its appearance. In another study, a change in behavior can alter the outcome. The type of changes include a proper diet, exercise, and stressing the brain with brain games. These simple things can positively impact and slow the disease.
