Hypertension (high blood pressure) is not just a systemic condition—it has significant and potentially vision-threatening effects on the eye. Chronic elevation of blood pressure causes structural and functional damage to ocular blood vessels, particularly the retinal and choroidal circulation, making the eye a sensitive window to systemic vascular health.
In this video, we discuss:
How hypertension affects ocular circulation
Pathophysiology of hypertensive retinal and choroidal changes
Clinical features of hypertensive retinopathy
Grading and staging of hypertensive retinopathy
Ocular complications such as retinal hemorrhages, cotton-wool spots, macular edema, optic disc edema, and choroidopathy
Relationship between systemic blood pressure control and visual prognosis
Importance of regular fundus examination in hypertensive patients
Hypertensive eye disease is often asymptomatic in early stages, yet it may signal underlying cardiovascular or cerebrovascular risk. Early detection through routine eye examination can help prevent irreversible visual loss and systemic complications.
This video is useful for:
Medical and optometry students
Ophthalmology and optometry professionals
General physicians
Patients with hypertension seeking awareness
Watch till the end to understand why the eye is called a “mirror of systemic hypertension.
