The changes in arteriolar structure of retinal vessels in our study cohort revealed a similar pattern to that observed previously by other investigators in subcutaneous small arteries in essential hypertension. Blood pressure emerged as an important and independent determinant of wall-to-lumen ratio of retinal arterioles.
