Intravenous thrombolysis within 4.5 h of vision loss is safe and may improve vision, but is rarely administered because of frequent delays in presentation. We describe a subgroup of CRAO patients presenting within 24 h of vision loss to a tertiary care center affiliated with a comprehensive stroke center.<h4>Materials and methods</h4>Retrospective review of 181 consecutive CRAO patients seen at our institution from 2010 to 2020.<h4>Results</h4>Out of 181 CRAO patients, 62 (34%) presented within 24 h of vision loss and tended to live closer to the hospital. These patients were more likely to be admitted to the hospital and receive comprehensive stroke work-up compared to patients who prJournal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke AssociationAcute Central Retinal Artery Occlusion Seen within 24 Hours at a Tertiary Institution.PMC9547607P30 EY006360R01 NS089694Chan WFlowers AMMeyer BIBruce BBBiousse VNewman NJfalseAcute Central Retinal Artery Occlusion Seen within 24 Hours at a Tertiary Institution.<h4>Objective</h4>Acute central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an emergency with poor visual outcome.
