Risk of acute stroke in patients with retinal artery occlusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The meta-analysis demonstrated that people with RAO are significantly more likely to get an acute stroke than patients without RAO. In addition, patients with RAO are substantially more likely than those without RAO to develop an acute stroke following an occlusion episode, especially if they are under 75 years old. However, given that only a small number of the studies in our review did not show a clear correlation between the two, we believe more research is required to conclusively link RAO and the prevalence of acute stroke.PMID:37401301 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202306_32803

A literature review of hypertensive retinopathy: systemic correlations and new technologies
CONCLUSIONS: The eye is the only organ in the human body where changes in the blood vessels due to systemic hypertension can be studied in vivo. All doctors should be familiar with this disease because it has been largely demonstrated that signs of HR are correlated to patient's health and mortality. Researchers should develop a new common, standardized, and objective method to assess hypertensive retinal changes; new technologies may have a significant role in this field. This review takes most of the literature published so far, including the OCTA studies in order to stimulate new points of reference to standardize param...
