Abstract: A 56-year-old male underwent cardiac balloon angioplasty for coronary artery stenosis and after 1 week presented with sudden painless diminution of vision in the left eye. On examination, the best-corrected visual acuity was 6/6, and hand movement was close to the face in right and left eye, respectively. The detailed evaluation revealed hemicentral retinal artery occlusion in the left eye, whereas the right was within normal limits. The patient was treated with anti-glaucoma medication and referred to a cardiologist for further evaluation and treatment. The patient underwent left internal carotid artery balloon angioplasty and stenting. At 2 weeks follow-up, reperfusion was noted in the left eye.
