Recognition and further study of existing retinal atheromatous plaques in the central retinal artery may be enhanced by pressure on the globe. This simple maneuver should be used when patients with transient ischemic attacks (cerebral or ocular) are examined with or without atheromatous disease of the carotid artery. Previously unseen or suspected plaques may be brought into view. Plaques already visible may appear larger or vary greatly in both color and texture giving indication of their composition. The recognition of these atheromatous plaques is important in the diagnosis of atheromatous disease.
通过对眼球施压，可增强对视网膜中央动脉中现有视网膜动脉粥样硬化斑块的识别及进一步研究。当对患有短暂性脑缺血发作（脑部或眼部）的患者进行检查时，无论其是否患有颈动脉粥样硬化疾病，都应采用这种简单的操作方法。之前未被发现或疑似存在的斑块可能会显现出来。已经可见的斑块可能会显得更大，或者在颜色和质地方面有很大差异，从而提示其成分。识别这些动脉粥样硬化斑块对动脉粥样硬化疾病的诊断很重要。
