The plaque is a buildup of toxic proteins called amyloid-beta deposits, which are key signs of Alzheimer\u2019s. Build up in the brain may occur as early as two decades before people begin to experience signs of the disease.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibtimes.com\/study-eye-test-could-predict-alzheimers-disease-years-advance-2581324\">http:\/\/www.ibtimes.com\/study-eye-test-could-predict-alzheime...ce-2581324<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An eye test could predict whether someone could have Alzheimer\u2019s disease years in advance, according to a recent study.
