How to treat blurry vision caused by high blood pressure?

Patient's question:

How to treat blurry vision caused by high blood pressure? Doctor, I have been taking medication for high blood pressure for the past two years since I was diagnosed, but recently, for some reason, my vision has become increasingly blurry. The doctor said it's caused by high blood pressure. How should I treat this condition?

Doctor's answer:

If high blood pressure cannot be controlled, leading to blurred vision, it is primarily caused by hypertensive retinopathy, or even corneal damage. Due to high blood pressure, small blood vessel rupture or retinal damage is easily triggered. Once this occurs, we should first go to the ophthalmology department of a local hospital for examination. Through a thorough check of the retina and other vision, other diseases causing blurred vision can be ruled out, and systematic treatment should be actively carried out. In treatment, the main focus is on prevention and blood pressure reduction to lower vision. In terms of medication, drugs such as nifedipine, valsartan, and captopril can help prevent high blood pressure.
