Who is the study for?

This trial is for older adults who are healthy but may have mild cognitive impairment or early signs of Alzheimer's. Participants should be interested in how light exposure affects their body clock.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests two types of glasses: light goggles meant to help keep the body's natural rhythms, and orange glasses that don't affect these rhythms. Each participant will try both in a random order.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-invasive light therapy through special glasses, side effects are expected to be minimal if any. However, specifics aren't provided here.
