In order to assess vision in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related disorders, gerontologists must use tests that make minimal cognitive demands on the subject. Using such tests, we have found a pattern of deficits in color discrimination, stereoacuity, contrast sensitivity, and backward masking that differs from that seen in healthy elderly individuals. Impaired vision predicts deficient performance of subjects with AD on numerous tests of cognition, underscoring the importance of understanding visual changes in this population.
为了评估阿尔茨海默病（AD）及相关疾病患者的视力，老年病学家必须使用对受试者认知要求最低的测试。通过使用此类测试，我们发现了一种在颜色辨别、立体视敏度、对比敏感度和后向掩蔽方面的缺陷模式，这种模式与健康老年人不同。视力受损预示着AD患者在众多认知测试中的表现不佳，这突出了了解该人群视觉变化的重要性。
