Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Age >= 50 years Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE) greater or equal to 17 (patients who are mentally competent) Available AD biomarker information

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Pupil dilation inadequate or contraindicated - Presence of glaucoma, retinal vasculopathy (diabetic, hypertensive) - Presence of moderate / late-stage age-related macular degeneration - Media opacities (cataract) precluding good quality imaging - Refractive error outside the range -6D to +6D - Inability to obtain good quality images with the OCT(-A), widefield fundus photography and metabolic hyperspectral retinal camera - Ocular conditions including eye infection, eye inflammation, eye surgery within the last 28 days or other acute eye conditions. Presence of other neurodegenerative disease (i.e. other causes of dementia, MS, Parkinson Disease)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Differences between AD patients, patients with SMC and healthy controls for all parameters measured by the different retinal imaging techniques (including OCT, OCT-A, ultra-widefield fundus photography and metabolic hyperspectral retinal camera) at baseline and after two years. 2. Comparison of intra-individual differences (change over time) between AD patients, patients with SMC and healthy controls for all parameters measured by the multimodal retinal imaging platform at baseline and after two years.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Correlation of the results of the different retinal imaging techniques with established disease biomarkers (CSF concentration of Aβ, Tau, and pTau, hippocampal and cortical atrophy on MRI, and neuropsychological findings). 2. Correlation of possible new AD biomarkers in tear film (in collaboration with Maastricht University Medical Center, MUMC+), to the different retinal imaging
