Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects multiple organ systems and eye is not an exception to this. Eye involvement can be attributed to multiple factors namely the uraemic status of the patient, direct effects of hemodialysis, or the other systemic comorbidities associated with CKD. A prospective, cross-sectional, observational study was conducted on 106 cases of CKD at a tertiary health care centre and data analysed. Common anterior segment findings included red eyes, lid oedema, xanthelasma, conjunctival pallor, pinguecula, and cataract. Retinal involvement was also seen in patients with coexisting diabetes and hypertension. Ocular status is also an indicator of the efficacy of metabolic control of the disease. Similarly an unknown case of CKD may first present with ocular complications to an ophthalmologist. This study is an attempt to assess the ocular status and complications associated with CKD.
