Abstract
Amaurosis fugax is a transient visual disturbance that is
typically caused by a circulatory, ocular, or neurological underlying
condition. Patients with amaurosis fugax are at risk for stroke,
myocardial infarction, vision loss and other serious consequences. A
thorough case history, careful clinical and ocular examination and
appropriate systemic testing will lead to the best possible outcome
for these at-risk patients.
