摘要

Diagnosis of dementia, preferably Alzheimer's disease, based on an eye surgery of removed components, comprises supplying the extracted components from a suction to an analysis unit and analyzing the components in the analysis unit for the presence and/or relative proportions of paired helical filaments (PHF)-tau plaques, beta -amyloid plaques and/or other disease-specific molecules. An independent claim is included for an apparatus for the diagnosis of dementia, comprising the suction for the extracted components and the analysis unit.
