Patient's question:
I have had high blood pressure for half a year. Recently, when looking at things, I always feel like there are many black spots in front of my eyes, as if mosquitoes are flying around in front of my eyes. It's especially noticeable when looking at white things. After consulting a doctor, they said it's floaters, but I'm a bit skeptical that high blood pressure is causing it. I want to know if high blood pressure can lead to floaters?Doctor's answer:
The onset of muscae volitantes syndrome in patients is generally caused by factors such as vitreous liquefaction and posterior vitreous detachment. Patients with muscae volitantes syndrome are primarily treated using symptomatic treatment methods. On the other hand, hypertension may lead to complications such as retinal artery hardening and fundus changes in patients, and those with hypertension need to be treated with antihypertensive medications and dietary therapy. The above information can be used as a reference.
