Central Retinal Artery Occlusion at a Canadian Academic Center

In this series, patients often presented within hours of CRAO and usually to an emergency department; however, no patient was treated with thrombolysis. As in other centers, delay in ophthalmological consultation and the lack of a defined CRAO treatment pathway are barriers. Patients with CRAO frequently have high-risk underlying pathology and generally do not experience meaningful improvement in vision. There is an unmet need for Canadian guidelines to standardize multidisciplinary care for CRAO.
