Retinal Microvascular Changes in Hypertensive Patients with Different Levels of Blood Pressure Control and without Hypertensive Retinopathy.

CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated that the frequency of OCTA follow-up may improve detection of reduced retinal VD, thus avoiding further retinal damage in hypertensive patients; however, the clinical implications of this finding deserve further study. Moreover, further exploration is needed regarding the implication that reduced SBP may be beneficial for lowering the risk of glaucoma. PMID: 32498561 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
