Brief Summary   An Observation Study on the saccadic eye movement among Alzheimer’s diseased patients with an objective to assess the effect on pattern of saccadic eye movement with respect to the severity of the condition. The patients are recruited based on the inclusion and the exclusion criteria set. The Initial assessments include Demographic data, history, Visual Acuity, Refraction, Fundus Evaluation and MMSE. The Mini-Mental State Evaluation Score of the patient is assessed with the help of a questionnaire. Followed by assessment of the Saccadic Eye Movement Evaluation according to NSUCO’s Oculomotor Test.
The study aims to compare the pattern of the saccadic eye movement with the severity of Alzheimer’s Disease, thus serving as a bio-marker for its severity.
