Merge

I merged material here from Amaurosis fugax (unfortunately I mistakenly capitalized the F when I wrote the edit summary). RJFJR 01:33, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)

Anatomy

Is it the retinal artery or the ophthalmic artery? (When I merged the Amaurosis and Amaurosis Fugax articles they each had one, out of confusion I kept both and seperated them with a slash). RJFJR 01:23, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)

The retinal artery is a branch of the ophthalmic artery. Occlusion of either can cause amaurosis fugax. AED 21:28, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
