Zusammenfassung:Purpose To evaluate the retinal vasculature in patient with internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis and to highlight association between ICA stenosis severity and retinal vasculature changes. Methods Seventy-five subjects were included in this prospective study. Twenty-five healthy subjects were included in the Group 1, 25 subjects with 1–49% ICA stenosis were included in the Group 2, and 25 subjects with 50–69% ICA stenosis were included in the Group 3. Visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), and anterior and posterior segment examinations were performed. Macular superficial and deep capillary density, optic nerve head capillary density, and choroidal thickness data were measured using optic coherence tomography angiography. Results There was a statistically significant difference between the three groups regarding superficial vascular density, deep vascular density, vascular density of radial peripapillary capillary and choroid thickness ( p
