High blood pressure tied to color vision impairment
Japanese men with higher blood pressure were more likely to have impaired color vision, a new study has found.
Researchers said that for now, it’s not clear what explains the findings.
According to Dr. Saadia Rashid, damage to certain parts of the eye that occurs as a result of high blood pressure could ultimately lead to vision loss. It’s possible that impaired color vision could be a sign of future problems related to high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, said Rashid, an ophthalmologist from Montefiore Medical Center in New York.
