Retinal imaging may reveal cardiovascular, metabolic, renal, and neurodegenerative disease risk

A recent study suggests the retina can serve as a biomarker for multiple systemic diseases, including cardiovascular, metabolic, renal, and neurodegenerative conditions. The findings are preliminary and based on a single study, but they could enable non-invasive early detection. This matters because it could shift diagnostic paradigms and reduce healthcare costs.
