Hypertensive Retinopathy
Treatment of Hypertensive Retinopathy
Hypertensive retinopathy is managed primarily by controlling hypertension. Other vision-threatening conditions should also be aggressively controlled. If vision loss occurs, treatment of the retinal edema with laser or with intravitreal injection of corticosteroids or antivascular endothelial growth factor drugs (eg,ranibizumab,pegaptanib,bevacizumab) may be useful.
