Hypertensive retinopathy is a condition characterized by damage to the retina due to high blood pressure. Understanding its implications and seeking timely intervention is vital for preserving vision and overall health.
Hypertensive retinopathy occurs when prolonged high blood pressure causes damage to the small blood vessels in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. This damage can lead to vision problems and, in severe cases, even blindness.
Symptoms of hypertensive retinopathy may include blurred vision, vision loss, headaches, and eye discomfort. Individuals with uncontrolled high blood pressure or a history of hypertension are at increased risk of developing this condition.
Don't overlook the health of your eyes. Schedule a comprehensive eye exam today to assess your risk of hypertensive retinopathy and take control of your vision health. Your eyesight is too precious to ignore.
