Undertreatment of Vascular Risk Factors in Patients with Monocular Ischaemic Visual Loss

Conclusions: Approximately one-third of patients with ocular ischaemia had ≥3 vascular risk factors with recurrences higher in these patients. Yet only half of those with previous ischaemic ocular events were on antiplatelets or statins. These patients should be investigated and treated as aggressively as other forms of TIA or stroke.Cerebrovasc Dis 2018;45:228 –235
