AI Eye Scan Could Detect Dementia Years Before Symptoms
TL;DR
British-Pakistani scientist Rayaz Malik says AI-powered corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) eye scans lasting 2–3 minutes can detect nerve damage linked to dementia and diabetic neuropathy years before symptoms appear, enabling earlier diagnosis and treatment. AI speeds analysis to seconds, potentially broadening CCM adoption as new Chinese-made devices improve access, though skepticism among neurologists and limited device availability remain challenges, especially in developing countries like Pakistan.
