Background: One of the main causes of maternal and perinatal death is pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), a stigmatising condition in the field of obstetrics that requires challenging stigma removal. In order to evaluate ocular symptoms in individuals with pregnancy-induced hypertension, the current investigation was carried out. Materials & Methods: 200 patients with pregnancy-related hypertension in total were enrolled. Patients with persistent hypertension, underlying renal diseases, diabetes, haematological problems, infectious infections, and any past ocular diseases were disqualified. Torch light was used to examine the anterior portion. With the help of tropicamide, the eyes were dilated, and an indirect ophthalmoscope was used to examine the fundus. SPSS software was used to record and analyse each outcome. Results: 19% of the patients experienced eyesight problems. 11 percent of the patients had macular oedema. In 2% and 3% of the patients, respectively, lid oedema and choroidal infarcts were found. 14 percent of the patients had a narrowing of the arteries. Conclusion: Of the cases of preeclampsia, 32% involved ocular symptoms. In PIH patients, routine retinal screening is recommended.
