Understanding Hypertension and Its Impact on Your Eyes

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a chronic medical condition characterized by elevated blood pressure levels. While it may seem unrelated, hypertension can significantly affect your eyes and vision. The delicate blood vessels in your eyes are particularly vulnerable, leading to severe eye conditions.

Hypertension-Related Eye Conditions

People with hypertension face an increased risk of various eye conditions, including:

arrow-circle-right-3 arrow-circle-right-3-light Hypertensive Retinopathy

This condition occurs when uncontrolled hypertension damages the blood vessels in the retina. It can lead to vision problems, including blurred vision or vision loss.

arrow-circle-right-3 arrow-circle-right-3-light Retinal Hemorrhages

Elevated blood pressure can cause blood vessels in the retina to rupture, resulting in retinal hemorrhages that may impact vision.

Hypertension can reduce blood flow to the optic nerve, potentially leading to optic neuropathy and vision loss.

Some individuals with hypertension may experience fluid retention in the macula. This can lead to macular edema and central vision disturbances.
