Can high blood pressure lead to Glaucoma?

According to a 2019 study in the journal Hypertension, both high and low blood pressure appear to be associated with a higher risk of glaucoma, a sight-robbing eye disease that damages the optic nerve. The researchers recommended that people with high or low blood pressure schedule regular glaucoma screenings.

Can vision loss from high blood pressure be reversed?

Although high blood pressure doesn’t directly cause vision loss, it can lead to conditions that can threaten vision, such as retinopathy. Unfortunately, vision loss from these eye diseases can’t be reversed. However, early diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases can greatly improve the chance of maintaining your vision.
