 According to a report in the Associated Press, scientists in Australia and the US are getting encouraging results from initial eye tests for early Alzheimer's detection.  Although still in it's early stages, the results are encouraging.  The basis behind the tests is that Alzheimer's causes changes in the eyes as well as the brain.  In addition, it's noted that persons with the disease are 5 times more likely to suffer a fall than someone without it.  Both of these results were topics for discussion at the Alzheimer's International Conference in France recently.
 Early detection is critical to managing the disease and reducing it's impact to the sufferer.  For more information, or to read the entire article, visit the posting in Yahoo News by clicking here.
