About

This study aims to determine whether changes in retinal vasculature seen on SS-OCTA can be correlated to degree of cardiovascular disease as measured by carotid duplex ultrasonography.

Full description

The study's primary objective is to determine whether measures taken from SS-OCTA, color fundus photography, and retinal exams can correlate with and predict the presence/degree of carotid occlusive disease as determined by carotid duplex ultrasonography by examining the following parameters: retinal vessel caliber, retinal vessel density, retinal vessel perfusion, retinal vessel tortuosity, presence of Hollenhorst or other plaques, and/or areas of ischemia.
