|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cherry-red spot | Yes | No | No | No |
| Disc edema | No | Yes | Yes | No |
| Retinal hemorrhages | Rare | Diffuse ("blood-thunder") | Cotton-wool spots | No |
| RAPD | Profound | Moderate | Present | Variable |

| Condition | Urgency | Action |
|---|---|---|
| CRAO | Within 4-6 hours | Ophthalmology + neurology; consider thrombolysis; stroke workup |
| A-AION (GCA) | Immediate | Admit; IV methylprednisolone; temporal artery biopsy within 1 week |
| NA-AION | Same-day | Ophthalmology; vascular risk factor management |
| CRVO | Same-day | Ophthalmology |
| Retinal Detachment | Within 24 hours | Retina specialist; surgical repair |
| Cortical stroke | Immediate | Neurology; stroke code if within 4.5 hours |
