Retinal Ischemic Perivascular Lesions are associated with myocardial infarction in patients with coronary artery disease.

Retinal ischemic perivascular lesions (RIPLs) are anatomical biomarkers of retinal ischemia. They are defined on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) by an area of focal retinal thinning in the middle retina or inner nuclear layer.1 RIPLs are a legacy of paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) due to INL infarction and were previously referred to as resolved or chronic PAMM lesions until Long et al proposed the better term “RIPL”.1–3
