Abstract

In this work, we looked at the results of a retrospective study carried out in our unit on the ocular manifestations in the dialysed chronic renal failure patient. Eighty-one of our 189 patients had an ophtalmic examination. Thirty-six showed a retinopathy, 26 suffered from a corneoconjunctival alterations, 19 from a cataract, 6 a vascular thrombosis, 4 a glaucoma and one motor-ocular paralysis. There was no significant difference for age and sex between the 81 patients and the group of 108 who did not have an ophtalmic examination. But this difference was positive for duration of time on dialysis (p = 0.01). There is a correlation between the presence of a cataract and the age of the patients (p = 0.01). There was no link between the different types of ophtalmic problems on the one hand, and the age, sex, time on dialysis, type of dialysis, original nephropathy, hypertensive history or anterior renal transplantation on the other hand.
