Abstract: This study investigates the prevalence of retinal changes in patients with pregnancy induced hypertension PIH and examines the correlation between blood pressure levels and retinal abnormalities. A hospital based cross sectional study was conducted on 189 patients diagnosed with PIH. The results indicate that 50.8 of the patients exhibited positive fundus changes, with a significant association between the severity of PIH and retinal manifestations. This study highlights the importance of regular fundus examinations in managing PIH to monitor disease progression and fetal outcomes.
