The results showed that the retinal layer noticeably loses weight in patients with Parkinson’s disease. It was also noted that in the initial stages of the disease It is in the retina that the greatest neurodegeneration is found. and from a certain point, when the layer is already very thin, a kind of stabilization of the neurodegeneration process occurs.

I wonder if Parkinson's causes macular pucker

"A macular pucker is scar tissue that has formed on the eye's macula, located in the center of the eye's light-sensitive tissue called the retina. The macula provides the sharp, central vision we need for reading, driving, and seeing fine detail. A macular pucker can cause blurred and distorted central vision."
