Assessment

Primary outcomes

Association between characteristics of carotid artery stenosis and retinal imaging findings.

Key secondary outcomes

1. Association between retinal imaging findings and ischemic stroke subtypes.
2. Associations between retinal imaging findings and clinical characteristics, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and atrial fibrillation.
3. Association of retinal imaging findings with the occurrence of ischemic stroke or TIA during follow-up.
4. Association between laboratory parameters and retinal imaging findings.
