Hypertensive retinopathy is a condition caused by high blood pressure that damages the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision problems. The condition can lead to changes in the appearance of the eye, including:
A soft, swollen, or bulging appearance of the eye
Blurred or distorted vision
Dark spots or patches in the field of vision
Difficulty seeing in low-light conditions
Night vision problems
Increased risk of blindness
Hypertensive retinopathy is often associated with other eye conditions, such as diabetes and high cholesterol. Treatment typically involves lowering blood pressure to slow down the progression of the disease
