“…When surveyed, the general public ranks sight as our most important sense. 26 This translates into significant differences between the extent to which members of the public attend eye checks compared to screening for CVD. For example, the free "Over-40" check established by the UK National Health Service for CVD risk stratification by primary care physicians in 2009 was attended by only 12.8% of the population from 2009 to 2013.…”

Insights into systemic disease through retinal imaging-based oculomics. Trans Vis Sci Tech. 2020;9(2):6, https://doi. org/10.1167/tvst.9.2.6 Among the most noteworthy developments in ophthalmology over the last decade has been the emergence of quantifiable high-resolution imaging modalities, which are typically non-invasive, rapid and widely available. Such imaging is of unquestionable utility in the assessment of ocular disease however evidence is also mounting for its role in identifying ocular biomarkers of systemic disease, which we term oculomics. In this review, we highlight our current understanding of how retinal morphology evolves in two leading causes of global morbidity and mortality, cardiovascular disease and dementia. Population-based analyses have demonstrated the predictive value of retinal microvascular indices, as measured through fundus photography, in screening for heart attack and stroke. Similarly, the association between the structure of the neurosensory retina and prevalent neurodegenerative disease, in particular Alzheimer's disease, is now well-established. Given the growing size and complexity of emerging multimodal datasets, modern artificial intelligence techniques, such as deep learning, may provide the optimal opportunity to further characterize these associations, enhance our understanding of eye-body relationships and secure novel scalable approaches to the risk stratification of chronic complex disorders of ageing.

“…Similarly, the public underestimates the importance of human olfaction. British adults consistently rank smell as the least important of the traditional five senses [3] and a survey of 7000 teenagers and young adults found that 1 in 2 would rather give up their sense of smell than be without their phone or laptop [4].…”

“…3 Sight has consistently been rated as the most valued sense in both research surveys 4 and opinion polls. 5 Therefore, it is not surprising that VI has a demonstrable detrimental impact on an individual's vision-related quality of life (VRQoL), as our group and others have unequivocally shown using both prevalent [6][7][8][9][10][11] and incident [12][13][14] population-based data. Most of these studies have also reported a linear decline of VRQoL with age.…”
