Ocular Ischemic Syndrome

Abstract

Ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS) typically occurs when atherosclerotic disease leads to reduced ocular arterial inflow, ischemia, and vision loss and ocular sequelae. In this chapter we summarize the epidemiology and typical clinical and imaging findings of OIS. Along with discussion of workup is how to distinguish between the similar entities of central retinal vein occlusion and diabetic retinopathy. Finally, we review systemic and ocular treatments for OIS.
