Anyone who has eye exams knows that the health of the eyes can provide lots of information about your general health.
A new study has shown that imaging and scans of your blood vessels in your eyes may reveal your risk of a stroke.
The back of your eyes are like a window into the body, allowing Optometrists to see the small blood vessels inside. The study has found that by imaging the retina at the back of your eyes, tiny changes in your retinal blood vessels that happen when people develop high blood pressure may also help to predict your risk of getting a stroke.
