Those with<unk>  are typically between the ages of 50 and 80 (patients over 65); twice as many men as women are affected. More than 90% of those presenting with the condition have vision loss. Patients may report a dull, radiating ache over the eye and eyebrow. Those with<unk>  may also present with a history of other systemic diseases including arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, previous stroke, and hemodialysis. The condition presents with visual loss secondary to hypoperfusion of the eye structures. The patient presents with intractable pain or<unk>  angina. On dilated examination, there may be blot retinal hemorrhages along with dilated and beaded retinal veins. The<unk>  perfusion pressure is decreased. The corneal layers show edema and striae. There is mild anterior uveitis. A cherry-red spot may be seen in the macula, along with cotton-wool spots elsewhere, due to retinal nerve fiber layer hemorrhages. The retinal arteries may show spontaneous pulsations. Complications If carotid occlusive disease results in ophthalmic artery occlusion, general<unk>  ischemia may result in retinal neovascularization, rubeosis iridis, cells and flare, iris necrosis, and cataract. The condition leads to neovascularization in various eye tissues due to the ischemia. The eye pressure may become high due to associated neovascular glaucoma. An ischemic optic neuropathy may eventually occur.
