Detection of retinal changes with optical coherence tomography angiography in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease patients: A meta-analysis.

<h4>Objective</h4>To assess retinal microvascular network impairments in the eyes of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).<h4>Design</h4>Systematic review and meta-analysis.<h4>Me...
