The lens is inserted into the eye of the patient to detect the biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease.

The lens is also capable of detecting other neurological and degenerative brain diseases. In another research, it has been found that protein injections could helpAlzheimer’s disease affects over 50 million people throughout the world. Although it develops in the human body without visible symptoms over the years, a mild cognitive impairment usually precedes the illness.The researchers studied the characteristics of the eye directly connected to the brain to discover these biomarkers.

Researchers identify the target biomarker by analyzing the changes in the moiré signal generated by overlapping the hydrogel pattern with the designated reference grid. The research team used a specific signal with greater sensitivity than other methods to detect changes in the hydrogel pattern.
