Can High BP Result In Loss Of Vision?

My dad started taking coversyl 2 yrs ago due to having suddenly developed high blood pressure, and has during that time lost much of his vision. It appears to be an optic nerve problem. He had 20:20 vision prior to taking coversyl. Could the drug have caused the problem?
