Alzheimer’s ‘Red FLAG’ Lurking in Your Eyes?!
Dear Turapür Today Reader,
We’ve all heard the old adage that your eyes are the “windows to the soul.”
But it turns out that your eyes could also be a gigantic window into your long-term memory.
That’s because a new study has found that a glimpse into the inner-workings of your eyes could reveal whether or not you could develop Alzheimer’s disease.
According to a research study from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, destructive amyloid plaques that build up in the brains of dementia and Alzheimer’s patients also build up in the retina of the eye!
Simply put, amyloid plaques are unwanted protein deposits (often caused by inflammation) that block and hinder the performance of your brain… and are widely considered one of the tell-tale signs of Alzheimer’s.
And while amyloid plaques have long been linked to the brain, this latest study found that these memory-hindering plaques can also be found in your eyes.
I know this may sound daunting (and even terrifying), but there is a silver-lining to this latest discovery.
Knowing that amyloid plaques can be detected in the eyes could actually one day help accelerate early detection of Alzheimer’s.
How, exactly?
Non-invasive retinal imaging could detect amyloid plaques EARLIER and EASIER than costly brain scans (which are currently used to help detect Alzheimer’s) … which could make it possible to determine the onset and spread of Alzheimer’s much earlier in the process.
While this breakthrough isn’t a ‘cure’ for the life-altering brain disease, it does offer hope in fight (and treatment) of future Alzheimer’s cases.

In the meantime, even though this kind of retinal imaging to detect amyloid plaques isn’t readily available at your local eye doctor, you should continue to get regular eye exams.
Current tests and exams can help identify any irregularities or inflammation that could be detrimental to your eyes (which are connected to the brain).
If you or a loved one is experiencing warning signs of Alzheimer’s, it’s important to work with your doctor on a treatment plan best suited for you.
