How can you determine the grade of your hypertensive retinopathy when your ophthalmologist's report doesn't specify?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypertension: The hypertension has to produce changes in the retinal vessels and this can be seen on a dilated fundus exam. This is a reflection of the acuteness or chronicity of the uncontrolled or untreated hypertension. Ask for an answer on your next examination.
