Summary
This study uses a quick, painless eye scan (OCT) to see if blood vessels in the eye look different in people with high blood pressure or chronic kidney disease compared to healthy people. Researchers want to learn if these differences improve with treatment. About 150 adults aged 18-80 will take part.
