Cognitive decline in older adults: What can we learn from optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based retinal vascular imaging?

In this large biracial community sample of older adults representative of the target population for retinal screening of cognitive risk, we found that obtaining high-quality OCTA scans was infeasible in a nearly half of older adults. Among the select sample of healthier older adults with scans, OCTA markers were not predictive of cognitive impairment.
