7 health problems predicted with a look into your eyes
Rachel Bishop
Dr. Rachel Bishop of the federal National Eye Institute  said the study results are "not a surprise at all."
"If the retinal blood vessels are unhealthy  there's every reason to think that the brain blood vessels are unhealthy as well " said  Bishop   who was not involved in the new study.
"The blood vessel supply is essential to all function  the function of all organs  and so if the blood vessels are unable to do their job  there's no way that the brain can be functioning as well as a brain that has a good supply. "
Bishop  said  she  likes the idea of screening the eye and retina for negative conditions in the brain  "even if I don't know quite where it takes us. I think I share a common hope that we could detect things early enough and have interventions early enough to change the course of a negative event."
After all   she  said  the list of diseases and conditions that can be identified by the health of the eye is long -- and growing.
