Why Can High Blood Pressure Affect Your Vision?

The eyes rely on tiny blood vessels to deliver oxygen and nutrients properly.

That is why high blood pressure can sometimes affect eyesight when pressure remains elevated over long periods.

Damage to the retinal blood vessels may gradually lead to blurred or distorted vision.

How Hypertension Can Affect Eye Health

Uncontrolled blood pressure may contribute to:

• Retinal vessel narrowing.
• Swelling inside the eye.
• Blurred vision.
• Reduced oxygen supply.
• Hypertensive retinopathy.

Routine eye tests are often one of the earliest ways vascular damage can be identified.

That is why protecting cardiovascular health also helps protect long-term vision.
