Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Background: \- Alzheimer s disease affects the brain and causes memory and thinking problems in older people. Macular degeneration (MD) is an eye condition. It is the leading reason that people over age 55 in the United States lose their central vision. Central vision is important for seeing fine details and for tasks like reading and driving. A feature of Alzheimer s disease is plaques in the brain. A feature of age-related MD is deposits in the retina in the eye. Researchers want to learn more about these diseases and find out if they are related. Objective: \- To see whether there is a relationship between Alzheimer s disease and age-related macular degeneration. Eligibility: \- People with or without Alzheimer s disease enrolled in another study. Participants must have someone to help them take part in this study. Design: * Participants will be screened through the other study. They will have 1 visit. The tests will take about 3 hours. * Participants will answer questions about their medical and eye history. * Participants will have an eye exam to test how well they see. Their eye pressure will be measured and their eye movements will be checked. * Participants will get eye drops to dilate their pupils. Researchers will take pictures of the retina and the inside of the eye. Researchers may measure the thickness of the retina. * Participants will continue to receive care from their regular eye doctor during and after the study.
