What Causes Thinning Retina In My Left Eye?

I was told I have thinning retina in left eye and my opthalmologist is sending me to retinal specialist for consultation. I have history of high blood pressure and take medications. What might be causing this and what treatments are available? Can it be improved? what about supplementation?
