Fig. 1 Preoperative OPG test in one of four Si-Oc patients, with severe stenosis on left and total occlusion on right. Right and left OBFs are 0.86 and 0.93 ml/min, respectively. Right and left ophthalmic systolic pressures are 91 and 94 mm Hg, respectively. Ophthalmobrachial systolic pressure (OBSP) indexes were − 22.0 and − 19.0 mm Hg, respectively. Latter are calculated from respective ophthalmic systolic pressures (OSP) and brachial systolic pressure (BSP) with formula OBSP = OSP − 39.0 − 0.43 BSP, as described elsewhere.7 Reference also contains explanations for our preference of OBSP index over OSP/BSP ratio.

Fig. 2 Postoperative OPG test on same patient in Fig. 1 after left carotid endarterectomy. Right and left OBFs are 2.63 and 5.38 ml/min, respectively. Ophthalmic systolic pressures are 127 and 140 mm Hg, respectively. OBSP indexes are − 6.6 and 6.4 mm Hg, respectively. Latter reflect occluded right internal carotid artery and now-patent left internal carotid artery.
