This research study is testing whether a new imaging tool called automated retinal oximetry can detect changes in eye blood flow in people with significant narrowing of the carotid artery—the main blood vessel that carries blood to your brain and eyes. The study will compare eye blood flow in people with narrowed carotid arteries to those without narrowing, and also look at brain MRI scans to see if there are any small strokes.
Doctors know that severely narrowed carotid arteries can cause strokes, but many people with this condition have no symptoms and don't receive treatment until it's too late. This study hopes that by detecting early changes in eye blood flow, doctors could identify who needs treatment sooner and prevent strokes from happening in the first place.

If you join this study, you will have your carotid artery checked with an ultrasound (if not already done), complete a specialized eye imaging test called automated retinal oximetry to measure blood oxygen levels in your retina, and undergo a brain MRI scan to look for any small areas of stroke. The study is recruiting participants over time, with the goal of enrolling 150 people total.
