    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Ophthalmology
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • Hypertension is a major public health concern requiring early detection and prevention strategies.
    • Optometry plays a crucial role in vision-related health screening, including identifying potential systemic health issues like hypertension.
    • Multidisciplinary approaches are essential for effective hypertension management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the current status of optometry's involvement in nationwide hypertension detection and prevention programs.
    • To present major risk factors associated with hypertension.
    • To introduce an improved hypertension screening and referral form to enhance the process.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current optometric practices in hypertension screening and referral.
    • Identification and presentation of key hypertension risk factors.
    • Development and proposed implementation of a standardized hypertension screening/referral form.

    Main Results:

    • Optometry's commitment to vision screening is reinforced by the national focus on hypertension.
    • A comprehensive overview of hypertension risk factors relevant to optometric practice is provided.
    • A new form is designed to streamline the hypertension screening and referral pathway.

    Conclusions:

    • Optometry is integral to the early detection and prevention of hypertension through vision screening.
    • The developed screening/referral form has the potential to improve efficiency and effectiveness in managing hypertensive patients.
    • Continued collaboration between optometry and other healthcare disciplines is vital for combating hypertension.
