Your eyes have a direct connection to your brain through the optic nerve and cells of the retina. While well-known age and genetic related eye diseases, such as macular degeneration, cause debilitating vision problems, other central nervous conditions including Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease can also affect your vision.
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases may cause direct or retrograde degeneration of the optic nerve and retinal cells, which are critical to good vision. The brain and nerve changes caused by these conditions may reduce coordination, mobility, and vision. This can result in increased risks of falls and related injuries.
