What Will Happen If BP Is Too High: High blood pressure not only weakens the heart but also causes damage to the eyes. In such a situation, if you have BP problems, do not ignore these symptoms at all.

Hypertension blood pressure i.e. 130/80 mm Hg affects the arteries of the body. In this condition, the heart has to work harder to pump blood. This causes the heart and kidneys to weaken. But its effects are not limited to this only.

High blood pressure can have a serious impact on your eyes, causing a number of conditions. This includes poor vision to total loss of vision. These are the five eye diseases that can occur mainly due to high BP.

Hypertensive Retinopathy 

Hypertensive retinopathy occurs when high blood pressure damages the blood vessels of the retina (the back layer inside the eye). In this, the patient does not see any symptoms until he starts having trouble seeing.

Choroidopathy 

Choroidopathy is a condition in which high blood pressure causes fluid to accumulate under the retina. In this, the patient cannot see things straight, along with blurred vision, objects may appear small or far away.

Optic Neuropathy

In optic neuropathy, due to high blood pressure, the optic nerve, which sends image signals to the brain, starts getting damaged. Due to which, vision problems or permanent loss of eyesight can occur. 

Retinal Artery Occlusion

In this, high blood pressure causes obstruction in blood circulation in the retina of the eyes. In this, the patient may suddenly lose vision in one eye.

Glaucoma

High blood pressure can contribute to increased pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure), which is a risk factor for glaucoma. It causes gradual loss of vision. If prompt treatment is not received, vision may be lost forever.

Preventive measures and management 

Monitor blood pressure regularly. If it is lower or higher than normal, maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise and stress management. Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Also, get your eyes checked regularly to detect early symptoms of eye disease caused by hypertension.
