Chapter 255 Treatment of hypertensive retinopathy is focused solely on control of the systemic hypertension. No topical medications are indicated to treat the ocular component. Amlodipine has been demonstrated to be particularly effective in the resolution of systemic hypertension and hypertensive retinopathy (Maggio et al, 2000). Current recommendations for the treatment of systemic hypertension can be found in Chapter 169, but cats with hypertensive retinopathy should be evaluated for underlying systemic disease, including renal failure, hyperthyroidism, and the more uncommon condition of hyperaldosteronism (Conn’s syndrome).
