- Abstract
INTRODUCTION - The aim of the article is to compare the blood pressure values of the persons examined within the framework of Hungary's Comprehensive Health Protection Screening Program (MÁESZ) between 2010 and 2022 with the intraocular pressure values, the occurrence of dry eyes and refractive errors. PATIENTS AND METHODS - During the screening tests, blood pressure was measured in 168,522 people (91,109 women and 77,413 men), eye pressure in 139,866 people (74,217 women and 65,649 men), dry eye test was performed in 63,215 people (32,917 women and 30,298 men), and in 94,618 people (50,178 wo - men and 44,440 men) the refraction value of the eyes was measured. RESULTS - In both sexes, the intraocular pressure increases parallel to the blood pressure value, as its severity increases. Dry eye occurs more often in women and is independent of the current blood pressure value. In parallel with the severity of blood pressure, the rate of occurrence of hypermetropes (far-sighted) increases and the rate of occurrence of myopes (shortsighted) decreases. CONCLUSIONS - Based on our analysis, special attention should be paid to the ophthalmic associations of hypertension; in individuals with elevated blood pres - sure, a regular basic ophthalmological examination is recommended.
