Q: Can high blood pressure really affect my eyesight?

A: Yes, high blood pressure can significantly impact your vision. Elevated blood pressure can damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to hypertensive retinopathy. This condition may cause symptoms like reduced vision, eye swelling, or even complete vision loss if left untreated. Regular monitoring and management of blood pressure are essential to prevent such complications.
