Hi
Welcome to HCM.
I think what you have in your eyes are Corneal dystrophies which are due to genetic mutations and are usually inherited. They do not affect other parts of your body and not related to any other systemic illness.
And the only treatment for this condition is Corneal transplant.
High BP is not due to corneal opacity. So continue with your physician's treatment for hypertension and keep it monitored as advised.
Take care.
