Sorry if this is a silly question

[liz1952]

I have recently been diagnosed with Hypertension, BP is coming down now but was very high. Would that pressure affect my eye pressure? Thanks

There has been research to say that high blood pressure can affect eye pressure especially if left untreated. At your next eye appointment your eye pressure will be taken again to see if there is any reduction in pressure.

Thank you for your reply. Trouble is they keep cancelling my appointment!!! x

If they keep cancelling the appointment you should call the eye secretary with your concerns. They can then check with the consultant and get back to you. If you don't get any joy with that route you can speak to the PALS department (Patient Advice and Liaison Services) or the ECLO (Eye Clinic Liaison Officer) who will be able to help you.
