This is because the veins and arteries in the retina or back part of the eyeball can be seen by looking Into the cyc with an Instrument known as the ophthalmoscope. Their condition-good or bad-reflects that of the entire system.

There are a number of conditions which manifest themselves by bleed- Ing into the retina. When this bleeding is from the arteries, it usually signifles hardening of the arteries and, in more than half these cases, high blood pressure as well. Haemorrhage from the veins has an- other meaning, since this type of bleeding is more often the result of some mechanical or inflammatory blocking of the veins.
