We don’t like high blood pressure. It hurts us. Which is pretty bad.

And today we learned that it can affect us in a weird way. I know you’ve got a busy day and all, but it won’t take long to discover this strange impact that high blood pressure can have. Help us out here by learning more.

A research team from Saitama Medical University in Japan, knowing that high blood pressure caused vision problems, wanted to analyze the relationship between color vision, eye disease, heart attack risk and lifestyle habits.

The study involved 872 men between the age of 20 and 60 who were engaged in active duty in the Japanese Self Defense Force in Kyoto. The researchers analyzed the blood pressure readings of the participants and gave them two tests in order to assess how well they could distinguish colors. The test involved lining up a set of caps in the order of hue.

Of the 872 participants, 161 failed in one of the two tests. After taking into consideration other factors like weight, blood sugar level, cholesterol level and other factors that that could affect eyesight, they discovered that as the blood pressure readings rose, the incidence of color vision impairment increased too.

While it is not a conclusive study, it is still useful in showing a link between high blood pressure and color vision disorder. And if you think that an impairment in color vision is not a big deal, then think again. Many physicians consider an impairment or loss in color vision as the initial stage of vision loss.

So identifying this problem can actually help in early and timely treatment to prevent permanent vision loss. There are also many ways to test your color vision through online tests available on the internet.

Have regular eye checkups and eat a healthy diet rich in leafy green vegetables to maintain good vision.
