Hypertensive Retinopathy is a condition that affects the eyes due to high blood pressure. It occurs when elevated blood pressure damages the blood vessels in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. This damage can lead to changes in vision and, if untreated, may result in serious complications. Symptoms of Hypertensive Retinopathy can include blurred vision, vision loss, or seeing spots. Eye doctors can detect this condition during a routine eye exam by examining the retina for signs of damage. Early detection and management of high blood pressure are crucial to prevent further eye damage.
