Note: mild to moderate cataracts or vision correction with glasses or contact lenses are not exclusion criteria.

Who the study is looking for

  • Participants who are overtly healthy as determined by medical evaluation, including medical history and physical examination.
  • Have mild memory complaints or a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment.
