AB The  eye  is  proverbially  the  window  to  the  soul,  and  literally  a  window  into  the  vascular  system.  Evaluation  of  the  retinal  vasculature  gives  insight  into  multiple  systemic  diseases  affecting  the  patient.  Simply  by  evaluating  the  retina,  one  can  determine  diseases  such  as  severe  hypertension,  diabetes  mellitus,  embolic  disease,  lupus,  infection,  and  extended  abdominal  trauma.
