    [abstract] => Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis often face a range of systemic complications, among which visual impairment is an under recognized but significant concern. This study explores the intricate relationship between hemodialysis and ocular health, aiming to elucidate the mechanisms contributing to vision loss in renal patients.
Renal dysfunction precipitates a cascade of systemic changes, including fluid imbalances, uremia, and oxidative stress, which can adversely affect ocular tissues. Hemodialysis, while life-sustaining, introduces further physiological challenges such as fluctuations in blood pressure, vascular changes, and potential microvascular damage. These factors collectively heighten the risk for conditions like hypertensive and diabetic retinopathy, uremic optic neuropathy, cataracts, and glaucoma, disproportionately impacting the quality of life in renal patients.
This review synthesizes findings from clinical studies, highlighting the prevalence and etiology of ocular complications in hemodialysis patients. It underscores the role of comorbidities, such as diabetes and hypertension, in exacerbating vision loss and identifies the need for routine ophthalmic evaluations in this population. Additionally, it explores emerging diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, including advanced imaging technologies and individualized treatment protocols, aimed at preserving vision.
By integrating interdisciplinary perspectives, this study advocates for heightened awareness among nephrologists and ophthalmologists regarding the ocular risks associated with hemodialysis. The findings emphasize the necessity of early intervention and collaborative care models to mitigate vision loss and improve overall outcomes for renal patients undergoing hemodialysis.
