We all know high cholesterol is bad for our health, especially our hearts. But did you know it can also affect your eyesight?"People with high cholesterol have an increased risk for retinal vein occlusion,” Dr. Marc Werner, an ophthalmologist at the Stahl Eye Center in New York City, told FOXNews.com. “Blood has to come into the eye and come out of the eye in a normal situation. When you have high cholesterol, it lines the walls of those blood vessels.”
