Hypertensive Retinopathy: When High Blood Pressure Affects the Eyes •Hypertensive retinopathy is an eye condition caused by long-term high blood pressure, which damages the blood vessels in the retina. It can affect vision if not detected and managed early. •Symptoms may not appear in early stages, but as the condition progresses, it can lead to blurred vision, headaches, or vision loss. •It is often detected during routine eye examination. •Uncontrolled hypertension causes narrowing, leakage, or damage to retinal blood vessels, affecting the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the eye.•Diagnosis is done through retinal examination and imaging tests. •Management mainly focuses on controlling blood pressure along with regular eye monitoring. •If left untreated, it can lead to complications like Retinal Vein Occlusion or other vision problems.•At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, we provide detailed retinal evaluation to detect early changes and guide proper management. •Regular eye check-ups are essential for patients with high blood pressure.#HypertensiveRetinopathy #EyeCare #RetinaHealth #HealthyEyes 👁️
