Lacrimal fluid local fibrinolytic activity was measured in 101 patients with different variants of arterial hypertension. The studied parameter was found reduced in patients developing hypertensive retinopathy on the respective eye. A correlation was revealed between progress of hypertensive changes in the fundus oculi and reduction of lacrimal fluid local fibrinolytic activity. The results indicate that reduction of this parameter may be regarded as one of the prerequisites for the development of hypertensive retinopathy.
