ABSTRACT

A rare but potentially fatal disorder known as Ocular Ischemic Syndrome (OIS) is linked to severe carotid artery occlusive disease that results in ocular hypoperfusion. Visual loss, temporary visual loss, and ischemic ocular pain are the main symptoms. OIS frequently affects the elderly, with males being more afflicted than women since these individuals have greater rates of atherosclerosis and carotid artery disease.[1][2][3] OIS has significant systemic ramifications since ipsilateral ocular signs and symptoms may indicate a brain infarction if the common (CCA) or internal (ICA) carotid arteries are diseased.[4]
