Hypertension: Can cause narrowing of blood vessels as well as small hemmorhages or small scars of the retina.

Narrowing of arterioles vs venules in the retina. Tortuosity (wiggly course instead of smooth curve or straight line) of blood vessels of the retina. A-V nicking, which occurs when a venule crosses an arteriole and appears to disappear at the crossing. Retinal hemorrhages. Sometimes retinal edema or vascular occlusion (mini stroke in eye). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21509040/
