The blood pressure in the systemic arteries is greatest during systole, which is the phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart contracts and pumps blood into the arteries. This peak pressure, known as systolic blood pressure, reflects the maximum force exerted by the blood against the arterial walls. In the context of the eyes, this pressure can influence conditions such as glaucoma if it remains elevated or is not properly regulated.
