Abstract
For over 150 years, characteristic ophthalmoscopic findings of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) are well established; however, there is much confusion in the literature about how long does it take for CRAO to produce irreversible retinal damage. This latter information is of the paramount importance in its management. In the literature, this length of time is based on anecdotal clinical case reports and experimental studies in the rat, cat, rabbit, and squirrel monkey, as summarized elsewhere [1].
