A recent study into a particularly deadly brain disease now shows that doctors may be able to detect its presence just by looking at a person’s eyes. Even scarier, the eyes of an infected individual could potentially act as a transmission point to spread the disease, for which there is no cure or effective treatment.
The ailment is Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), and there’s also a variant called sporadic CJD. Modern medicine has no answer for it and, while rare, it’s a death sentence for anyone diagnosed with it.
