👁️ Did you know it's High Blood Pressure Awareness Month? Let's talk about how hypertension can impact your eyes!

High blood pressure combined with diabetes can worsen diabetic retinopathy, leading to bleeding, swelling, or vision loss. Additionally, hypertension itself can cause hypertensive retinopathy, with similar effects. High blood pressure also increases the risk of central retinal vein occlusion, akin to a stroke in the eye, causing swelling and bleeding, potentially leading to vision loss.

Remember, managing blood pressure is crucial to prevent these eye complications. Make sure you follow your primary care doctor's advice and guidance for keeping your blood pressure under control. And don't forget to schedule an annual dilated eye exam, so your eye care provider can make sure the delicate structures inside your eye remain unaffected by hypertension.
