A 49-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia experienced frequent transient monocular blindness in the right eye during a 3-week period. Examination revealed atherothrombotic occlusion of the right ophthalmic artery (OA) without embolic sources. After treatment with aspirin, attacks resolved completely. Her symptoms were attributed to microembolism from the occluded OA.
