Abstract
Nine patients were evaluated pre- and post-carotid endarterectomy. Each patient received a complete clinical opthalmologic evaluation, Goldmann visual field testing, fundus photography, ophthalmodynamometry, Gee oculopneumoplethysmography, Doppler evaluation of the carotids, color vision testing, visual evoked response (VER) testing, electo-oculography (EOG), macular photostress testing and dark adaptation testing.
Following surgery, there were mild improvements in visual acuity, moderate improvements in visual fields, mild changes in VER, EOG, color vision and photostress recovery time, and improvement in dark adaptation.
