Effect of haemodialysis on intraocular pressure

Eye

To study the effect of haemodialysis on intraocular pressure (,,,Prospective, single centre study on patients undergoing haemodialysis with a sample size of 98 eyes (49 patients). Plasma osmolarity changes and volume of fluid removed were noted. Patients on antiglaucoma treatment or who have had earlier laser or surgical procedures for it were excluded. ....Plasma osmolarity decreased significantly (-11.610.0mOsm/l, P<0.001).>0.05) in all subgroups of non-operated/operated and diabetic/non-diabetic eyes were seen.
Conclusions
Haemodialysis does not cause significant changes in IOP in non-glaucomatous and non-occludable angle eyes
