High blood pressure and increased blood cholesterol levels was not only dangerous for the heart. Two indications of this can also threaten the health of your eyes.
As reported a study, these two conditions can trigger the risk of someone experiencing eye disorder called occlusion or blockage of the retinal veins. This condition can lead to blindness caused by one or more veins carrying blood from the eye to the heart is blocked or congested fluids.
Research conducted in Ireland that indicates a person who suffered from high blood 3.5-fold risk of experiencing these occlusive clots than those with normal blood pressure. Meanwhile, people who have high cholesterol are at increased risk were recorded up to 2.5-fold.
This finding is the result of a review of 21 previous studies involving a total of 2916 patients with retinal vein occlusion and 28,646 people who do not have it. The results of the analysis also indicates, 63.6 percent of patients with occlusion of the retina are also potential problems with blood. Whereas those who did not have eye problems, the percentage is 36.2 percent. High cholesterol levels reach twice the percentage (35 percent) in people with occlusion than patients who did not experience it (16.7 percent).
Meanwhile, if the disease is associated with diabetes, those with asperger occlusion percentage is slightly larger than those that do not have diabetes of 14.6 versus 11.1 percent.
