A High-Pressure Relationship Research shows that high blood pressure and glaucoma may go hand in hand. In a recent study of people with glaucoma, about 29 percent also had high blood pressure; making hypertension much more common in this group than in the general population and causing researchers to speculate that hypertension may play a role in the development of glaucoma. If you have high blood pressure, control it with weight management, healthy eating, regular exercise, and other prescribed treatments, and ask your doctor about eye screenings. Keeping your blood pressure at 115/76 mm Hg can make your real age as much as 12 years younger.
