Abstract: Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by bradykinesia, resting tremor, and other symptoms caused by abnormal α-synuclein deposition in the nervous system and dopaminergic nerve damage. As visual impairments can be detected during the early stages, functional and structural changes in the retina can play an important role in diagnosis and treatment strategies for Parkinson's disease. This review examines the retinal changes associated with Parkinson's disease, such as a decreased number of retinal dopaminergic neurons, thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer and macula(measured by using optical coherence tomography), and a decrease in amplitude and shortening of the latency period in electroretinograms, to explain the effects of Parkinson's disease on the retina. This paper concludes that retinal abnormalities in patients with Parkinson's can be used as a potential marker for early assessment of Parkinson's disease onset and can help to stage the disease, which is important for diagnosis and therapeutic strategies.
