A case is reported of a patient with bilateral central retinal artery occlusion secondary to giant cell arteritis. After treatment the vision recovered in one eye but remained poor in the other eye. Treatments employed are discussed with particular attention drawn to differences in the treatment of each eye and suggestions are made for treatment of similar cases.
