Hypertension and Eye Wellness

Hypertension occurs when the force of blood against your artery walls is consistently too high. This excess pressure can damage delicate blood vessels in the eyes, leading to various eye conditions that can severely impact your vision.

The Link Between Hypertension and Your Eye Health

If you have high blood pressure, you are at an increased risk of developing several eye conditions, including:

Blockage of the veins that carry blood away from the retina, causing vision blurriness or loss.
