Are Eye Floaters And High Blood Pressure Bad For Your Vision?

Having high blood pressure can be bad for and damage your eyes because it increases the risk of having a blocked blood vessel in the eye which can cause a stroke to the eye and or bleeding in the retina and optic nerve.

Black eye floaters in the center of your eyes that block or obstruct your vision are definitely a reason to pay a visit to your eye doctor. Tadpole eye floaters can be a concern when they involve showers of shimmering or scattered lights because this may mean you are experiencing a retina tear.

Tearing or detaching the retinal layer of the eye can happen to 1 out of 7 individuals who have streaky flashes of light to the side plus branched lines or clumps of dots in the vision.

The type of doctor you should see if diagnosed with a retinal detachment, hole, or tear is a board certified ophthalmologist with a subspecialty in retinal surgery.

Floaters usually do not cause night vision problems like glare or halos around lights. As you achieve the age of eighty about half of the time you will have gotten wispy strands of fluffy material in your eyes known as vitreous floaters. If someone all of a sudden sees bright flashes of light coupled with black colored strands then there is a 15 % possibility of going on to have a torn retina.
