Effects of hypertension on the eye?

my vision is double in my left eye due to hypertension , why?

A complete neurologic examination is needed to screen for localizing signs. Focal neurologic signs might not be attributable to encephalopathy. Focal signs mandate screening for cerebral hemorrhage, infarct, or the presence of a mass. A funduscopic examination may reveal flame-shaped retinal hemorrhages, soft exudates, or papilledema.

The blurring is a sign of extremely high blood pressure (called malignant hypertension). Basically because of the high blood pressure you have more of a chance of hemorrhages which cause the blurred vision. I hope you are taking meds for this because there are a ton of other side effects that can occur, none of which are very pleasant.

Your eye is filled with tiny blood vessels - high blood pressure in them can change the shape of your eye.

It is called Hypertensive retinopathy.Only an eye specialist preferably a Retinologist will be of help.

YES, because you are suffering from VITREOUS OPACITY.
