Abstract

The purpose of this nonrandomized clinical study was to evaluate changes in visual functions after carotid artery endarterectomy. Contrast sensitivity, differential light sensitivity, and wholefield absolute scotopic threshold were tested in 13 patients before surgery and at 1 week and 12 weeks postoperatively. We concluded that ipsilateral temporary improvement in visual functions may occur following carotid endarterectomy. This effect may be the result of a temporary increase in the ipsilateral ocular blood flow.
