A recent study published in JAMA Ophthalmology suggests vision impairment may play a significant role in dementia risk among older adults.

Researchers analyzed data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study , a nationally representative sample of 2,767 US adults aged 71 and older.

The study found that up to 19% of dementia cases could potentially be attributed to at least one vision impairment.
