How Is High Blood Pressure Detected At An Eye Examination?
This is done by viewing the inside of the eye with a slit lamp or taking a retinal photograph. Results of the disease would be evident when your eye’s arteries become stretched and damaged and/or have red areas, showing hemorrhaging in your eyes. High blood pressure can lead to a heart attack and other known risk factors in the onset and/or progression of other diseases. These include glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degermation. Generally, hypertension retinopathy is not noticed until it becomes too late.
