General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Welcome and thanks for the consult. I appreciate your concerns. I have reviewed your query about double vision and high blood pressure relationship.

High blood pressure can cause damage to the blood vessels of eye. It may affect vision. Double vision although less likely but may be a consequence of longstanding uncontrolled high blood pressure. 4th nerve (superior oblique muscles of the eye) palsy can also contribute to the vision issues.


Hope it helps. Ask for more if you have doubts or questions. My direct and quick link is: tinyurl.com/drhanifmd
