A 66-year-old female with past medical history significant for hypertension and ocular ischemic syndrome. She presented in emergency department (ED) reporting eye pain and blurred vision in both eyes since earlier that morning. On examination, best corrected visual acuity in each eye was counting fingers (20cm). Further investigation was performed and fluorescein angiography revealed a delay in choroidal filling. The patient has been followed for ocular ischemic syndrome since the onset of the condition and hyperbaric oxygen therapy was promptly initiated. Final best corrected visual acuity was 20/150 and macula developed atrophy.
