Hypertension and Your Eyes

Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, occurs when the force of blood against the walls of your arteries is consistently too high. This condition strains your heart, damages arteries, and heightens the risk of severe health issues. However, hypertension doesn’t stop at your heart; it subtly impacts your eyes, potentially causing vision problems.

Hypertension-Related Eye Issues

Individuals with high blood pressure are at risk of developing the following eye issues:

Damaged blood vessels in the retina, which can impair vision and, in severe cases, lead to blindness.

arrow-circle-right-3 arrow-circle-right-3-light Optic Neuropathy

Impaired optic nerve function, causing vision loss and potentially leading to irreversible damage.

arrow-circle-right-3 arrow-circle-right-3-light Ischemic Optic Neuropathy

Reduced blood flow to the optic nerve, resulting in sudden vision loss, often in one eye.

arrow-circle-right-3 arrow-circle-right-3-light Retinal Vein or Artery Occlusion

Blockage of retinal veins or arteries due to high blood pressure, leading to vision loss in the affected area.

arrow-circle-right-3 arrow-circle-right-3-light Macular Edema

Swelling in the macula, the central part of the retina, causing blurred or distorted central vision.
