dc.description.abstractAmong clinicians, OIS is frequently undetected because the range of symptoms initially exhibited by an individual can mimic age-related visual decline, delaying detection until serious complications such as amaurosis fugax or stroke occur. Proficient skills in fundus examination and carotid artery auscultation are crucial in identifying this harmful condition, including the use of non-invasive procedures and full recognition of the need for early eye care education.
