Description
Jordan Sergio and co-authors ask in 2025 whether how poorly older people feel they see tracks with how well they think. Aging raises the risk of both sight loss and Alzheimer disease. Past work tied sight problems to broad screening scores, but not to single thinking skills. The team tested fifty-eight healthy older adults and nineteen with mild cognitive impairment.
Each person rated their own vision on a standard form and took a battery of thinking tests. Self-rated vision tracked with scores for processing speed and for building visual shapes, in both groups. Over one year, healthy adults improved on a speed test with practice, while the impaired group slipped. Among healthy carriers of a risk gene, speed gains and worsening self-rated vision rose together. The authors suggest self-rated vision may help flag early decline, with care in reading the pattern.
