Ocular ischemic syndrome, caused by reduced blood flow from carotid artery stenosis, leads to vision loss. Diagnosis requires demonstrating decreased ocular perfusion pressure, with limited treatment options available.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS) results from significantly reduced ocular perfusion.
  • This condition is typically secondary to carotid artery stenosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of ocular ischemic syndrome.
  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and treatment outcomes for OIS.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical features associated with OIS.
  • Diagnostic criteria including ocular perfusion pressure assessment.
  • Evaluation of diagnostic support from fundus fluorescein angiography and carotid artery stenosis grading.

Main Results:

  • OIS presents with ocular pain unrelated to intraocular pressure and slow adaptation to light.

  • Anterior chamber rubeosis in OIS does not consistently elevate intraocular pressure.
  • Retinal hemorrhages can be misdiagnosed as diabetic retinopathy.
  • Diagnosis confirmed by demonstrating severely decreased ocular perfusion pressure.
  • Fundus fluorescein angiography shows delayed filling in patients with high-grade carotid stenosis.
  • Vision loss to finger counting is common within one year.
  • No consistently effective treatments are documented for OIS.

    • Conclusions:

    • Ocular ischemic syndrome is a severe condition linked to carotid artery stenosis.
    • Prompt diagnosis via perfusion pressure measurement is crucial.
    • Carotid surgery may offer visual improvement in select patients without anterior chamber neovascularization.
