  1. HOW HYPERTENSION AFFECT YOUR EYES? CHOROIDOPATHY B U I L D S F L U I D U N D E R E Y E R E T I N A Build-up of fluid under the retina caused as the result of a leaky vessel present under retina. This condition can cause the vision to get distorted. It may also cause scarring, which in turn can impair the vision. HYPERTENSIVE RETINOPATHY V A S C U L A R D A M A G E C A U S E D I N T H E R E T I N A As the blood pressure remains elevated within the retinal blood vessels, this increased pressure then begins to cause damage to the retina’s blood vessels, affect the proper functioning of retina, and pressurize the optic nerve. OPTIC NEUROPATHY O P T I C N E R V E G E T S D A M A G E D This is an eye condition where optic nerve gets damaged because of obstructed blood flow. By killing the eye’s nerve cells, the condition could lead to bleeding within the eyes or could even cause temporary or permanent loss of vision. STROKE H Y P E R T E N S I O N C A N A F F E C T B R A I N Stroke is one of the many critical ways in which hypertension can affect brain. Stroke can also be damaging for the eyes and vision.
