Abstract

The effect of hemodialysis and of ultrafiltration on intraocular pressure (IOP) was studied in 30 non glaucomatous patients (58 eyes) with chronic renal failure. IOP and serum osmolality were measured before and after dialysis and every hour during the procedure. IOP showed a slight but non-significant rise when measured after hemodialysis and a significant drop for ultrafiltration. Serum osmolality decreased significantly when measured after hemodialysis, but remained stable for ultrafiltration. The variations in IOP were found to be significantly correlated with changes in osmolality during hemodialysis.
