    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Vascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Internal carotid artery disease (ICAD) poses diagnostic challenges in optometry due to its varied presentations.
    • Optometric evaluation is critical for identifying patients at risk.

    Observation:

    • Ocular and visual signs and symptoms are key indicators of ICAD.
    • A comprehensive case history and examination are essential for diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • ICAD requires consideration in middle-aged or elderly patients with suggestive ocular or visual complaints.
    • The spectrum of manifestations necessitates a high index of suspicion.

    Implications:

    • Timely diagnosis and management of ICAD can prevent vision loss.
  • Effective optometric intervention contributes to patient longevity and visual health.
