Purpose of this Study

We are doing this study learn more about how we can identify potential biomarkers in your eyes that may let us predict and/or diagnose one or more illnesses or medical conditions. Although we will not be able to make these diagnoses now, one day in the future we may be able to use the information we have learned now to make these diagnoses in other people:
  • Alzheimer's disease
  • Mild cognitive impairment
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Frontotemporal dementia
  • Dementia of Lewy body
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Traumatic Brain Injury
  • PTSD
  • ALS
  • Huntington's
  • Down syndrome
