  • Title: Visual disorders associated with Alzheimer's disease and optometric management.
    Author: Mancil GL.
    Journal: J Am Optom Assoc; 1994 Jan; 65(1):27-31. PubMed ID: 8132949.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Patients with early or undiagnosed Alzheimer's disease commonly experience visual disorders that may cause them to seek optometric evaluation. METHODS: As this condition is difficult to diagnose, clinicians may be faced with a confusing presentation of symptoms. Typically, visual perceptual disorders exist in the absence of abnormal ocular findings. RESULTS: Familiarity with the visual disorders associated with Alzheimer's disease and recognition of the value of neuropsychological evaluation are critical to accurate diagnosis and management. CONCLUSIONS: Case presentations are used to illustrate these issues.
