HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE This rarely has noticeable symptoms. More than one in four adults don't even realise they have it. Severe hypertension can cause some symptoms, such as blurred


vision, chest pain or shortness of breath. But these normally spring up in the midst of a medical emergency, such as a heart attack or a stroke. Black said: “Many people do not realise that


general health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, which can both become serious if not treated early, can be detected from a routine eye test. "An Optometrist can


identify high blood pressure or diabetes from an eye test by looking at the blood vessels visible at the back of the eye." During an eye test, the optician may measure the diameter of


the blood vessels in your eye to determine if you're likely to have high blood pressure, according to the University of Hertfordshire. READ MORE: CRICKETER'S HIGH CHOLESTEROL
