Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a comprehensive review of secondary prevention strategies for ischemic stroke and retinal artery ischemia.
- To guide neuro-ophthalmologists in managing patients at risk of recurrent events.
Main Methods:
- Literature search of PubMed focusing on secondary stroke prevention.
- Review of recent clinical trials and evidence-based therapies.
Main Results:
- Optimal secondary stroke prevention is etiology-dependent.
- Standard management includes appropriate medical therapy and lifestyle modification counseling.
- Referral to stroke specialists is recommended for complex cases.
Conclusions:
- Tailoring treatment to the specific cause of stroke is essential for effective secondary prevention.
