Introduction
In cases of hypertensive retinal hemorrhage, the condition is initially considered a complication caused by hypertension. Patients may receive symptomatic management through general treatment, medication, or surgical intervention. Hypertension is a chronic progressive disease that can affect ocular vascular tissues and increase the risk of retinal vascular disorders such as vessel narrowing or venous dilation.

Hypertension is a chronic, progressive disease that can affect blood vessels in the eyes, increasing the risk of conditions such as vascular narrowing or venous varicosities. As the disease progresses, affected retinal vessels may undergo pathological changes such as rupture and leakage, leading to symptoms including retinal hemorrhage, decreased vision, and visual field defects.
In daily life and dietary management, patients should maintain a light diet, regular作息 (sleep schedule), and engage in moderate physical activity. Additionally, under medical guidance, antihypertensive therapy—both systemic and local—can be achieved using medications such as benazepril hydrochloride tablets, furosemide tablets, and brimonidine tartrate ophthalmic solution. For patients with the aforementioned symptoms, surgical interventions such as laser iridectomy or laser trabeculoplasty may be considered based on physician recommendations.
