Ocular manifestations of Takayasu Arteritis include hypo perfusion and hyper perfusion conditions leading to diminution of vision along with fundus findings. We report a case of 22 years old female with complaint of transient obscuration of vision both eye from last 1 week. Visual acuity of 6/6 both eyes, fundus normal, anterior segment normal, pupil cycle time 940 ms right eye,946 ms left eye, visual fields unreliable due to frequent obscuration of vision ,visual evoked potential normal in both eyes.Pateint was known case of takayasu arteritis on treatment for last three years. Ocular Doppler showed damped flow of blood in ophthalmic artery (10cm/sec) and posterior ciliary artery along with thickening of the wall. Dose of immunomodulaters was increased and anticoagulants were added to the treatment .Patient was relieved of symptoms in 2 weeks. Our study emphasises the role of ocular Doppler in subclinical ocular presentation of Takayasu Arteritis.
