A member asked:
Dear doctors, can hypertension cause eye problems and if so, does the treatment of hypertension improves the vision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Retinopathy: In severe uncontrolled hypertension retinal damage can occur, but in this day and age, with our effective antihypertensive medications, that is most unusual. I would have the ophthalmologist examine him for other conditions causing visual impairment such as glaucoma, severe astigmatism,etc.
