Hypertension and Your Vision:
A Closer Look

Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, occurs when the force of the blood against the artery walls is consistently too high. This condition can have significant consequences on your eyes., affecting the delicate blood vessels in the retina. When these blood vessels are damaged, it can lead to various eye problems.

Hypertension-Related Eye Issues

High blood pressure can impact your eye health, increasing the risk of several eye conditions and complications, including:

High blood pressure can cause blockages in the retinal veins, leading to sudden vision loss.
