Abstract
Hypertensive retinopathy is a term used to describe certain types of changes in the small blood vessels in the eye caused by hypertension. While it is unusual for these changes to be symptomatic, testing for them can provide useful information to your physician about your risk for heart attack, stroke, and other high blood pressure related problems. Testing is usually done by ophthalmologists, or eye doctors.
