There are strong correlations between the body's circulatory system and the eyes. The eyes contain tiny blood vessels, as thin as a strand of hair.

Good vision requires proper blood circulation and healthy blood pressure. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, hardening of the arteries, and other forms of heart disease are significant threats to the eyes.Listen to Dr. Grossman's podcast to learn more.
