American Heart Month

Punzal Vision takes blood pressure for every patient.

February is American Heart Month.

We often get the question, “why do you need to take my blood pressure?”.

At Punzal Vision, no matter the type of exam, we always take a blood pressure reading for all patients. Hypertension, if left untreated and/or severe enough, can be the cause of decreased vision.

Changes in the retina, relating to high blood pressure can show up in the eyes, such as retinal hemorrhages, cotton wool spots, and more. Taking a thorough look inside the eyes enables Dr. Punzal to evaluate the blood vessels in a less invasive way such as other procedures can be.

Make your overall health a priority this year, and get your eyes checked with a full comprehensive eye examination from Punzal Vision.

We hope to SEE you soon!
