Study Overview
Brief Summary
This is a human clinical study making a noninvasive measurement from a patient's eye to determine whether there is a quantitative difference in measurements between patients with and without the diagnosis of dementia.
Detailed Description
- Type of Research
This is a human clinical study making a noninvasive measurement from a patient's eye to determine whether there is a quantitative difference in measurements between patients with and without the diagnosis of dementia.
This research is not federally funded nor subject to federal oversight. 2. Purpose and Objective of the Study
The purpose of the study is to determine whether dynamic light scattering spectroscopy, also known as laser light scattering spectroscopy, or photon correlation spectroscopy, a noninvasive quantitative technique, has utility in the diagnosis of dementia. The objective is to determine which types of dementia and at what stages they may be most effectively detected. 3. Background of the Study
