Case report shows reduced mean central retinal artery pressure indicating carotid artery stenosis, suggesting new diagnostic potential.
<ns3:p>Advanced clinical diagnostic tools enable ophthalmologists to diagnose not only ocular pathologies but also identify disorders that extend beyond ocular diseases. Ophthalmodynamometry (ODM), a screening tool that most ophthalmologists do not commonly use, measured reduced mean central retinal artery pressure (MCRAP) in the clinical setting. We describe a 70-year-old female with a reduced MCRAP in the right eye who identified 50% stenosis in her right internal carotid artery (ICA). Early diagnosis facilitated prompt management and potentially prevented future ischemic events.</ns3:p>
