Patient's question:
Since two years ago when I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, my vision has been quite blurry, and things don't seem clear. Wearing reading glasses helps a bit, but after wearing them for a long time, my eyes get very tired. I've heard that high blood pressure can lead to deafness—is that really true?Doctor's answer:
The blood pressure continues to decline, the retina will be affected, which is certainly harmful to vision. Moreover, high blood pressure can easily lead to other inflammatory conditions in the body. It is important to promptly visit a regular hospital's ophthalmology department for an examination, including vision, refractive power, slit lamp, intraocular pressure, fundus, and OCT of the fundus if necessary. After identifying the root cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to safe eye use, and surgical treatment may be necessary if needed.
