Can an Optometrist Detect Alzheimer’s Disease Early?

Author: Ritika Jain

CT University

The strong connection between the brain and eyes is evident as the retina and optic nerve are extensions of brain tissue. This article shows how neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia may present early ocular changes, even before memory loss occurs. Through routine eye examinations, optometrists can play a pivotal role in recognising these subtle signs, enabling earlier detection, timely intervention, and better patient support.

Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI) is a major cause of childhood visual dysfunction, stemming from brain-based damage rather than ocular defects. This article shows how CVI impacts visual interpretation, motor skills, cognition, and daily life. Visual skills developmental therapy plays a pivotal role in enhancing visual processing, promoting functional development, and improving quality of life. Early identification is crucial, highlighting the need for increased awareness and dedicated resources for affected children.

Scleral Lens in Ocular Surface Disorder

Author: Narmadha R
Assistant Professor
Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan University

Scleral lenses are large-diameter medical devices that vault the cornea, maintaining a protective fluid reservoir to support the ocular surface. This article shows how they enhance comfort, promote healing, and provide visual rehabilitation in ocular surface disorders. By creating a stable and hydrating environment, scleral lenses are invaluable for managing severe dry eye, irregular corneas, and post-surgical recovery, significantly improving the quality of life for patients with complex ocular conditions.
