Disclosed are a method for assessing degenerative cognitive decline on the basis of eye movement and an apparatus for evaluating degenerative cognitive decline on basis of eye movement. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for evaluating degenerative cognitive decline on the basis of eye movement comprises the steps of: analyzing forward and reverse saccadic eye movements of eyeballs for tracking a moving target; measuring an error rate regarding a degree of deviation of the movement of the eyeballs from the movement path of the target through the analysis; measuring a response delay time required for the eyeballs to track the target in a predetermined interval in which the target moves through the analysis; and when any one of the error rate and the response delay time is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, determining that a subject who recognizes an object through the eyeballs has cognitive decline.
