Association between retinal vascular disease and subsequent stroke risk: a nationwide cohort study
RVDs, particularly RVO, were significantly associated with elevated risks of both IS and HS. These findings highlight the potential value of retinal assessment in early identification of high-risk individuals and underscore the importance of tailored stroke prevention strategies, particularly in younger and socioeconomically vulnerable populations.
