New findings published in Alzheimer's Dementia suggest blood biomarkers are expected to become the standard method for diagnosing Alzheimer's, while ocular tests offer a non-invasive alternative for detecting at-risk patient populations NEW YORK, March 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation's (ADDF) Diagnostics Accelerator (DxA) authored a first-of-its-kind paper, "Unlocking ocular biomarkers for early detection of Alzheimer's disease," providing a landscape review of ocular biomarkers as another tool, alongside blood biomarkers, to aid in the early detection of Alzheimer's disease. The paper, which was published in Alzheimer's Dementia, shares an informed perspective on the role of ocular biomarkers in the broader Alzheimer's diagnostics space and what defines a true ocular biomarker, while also highlighting the potential for ocular screening to identify at-risk patients who would otherwise go undiagnosed. The authors' assessment is based on hours of in-depth interviews with leading neurologists, ophthalmologists, optometrists, and primary care physicians from across the United States
