Abstract

Age, metabolic vascular risk factors including diabetes, hypertension smoking are linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and significant eye illnesses such diabetic retinopathy (DR), glaucoma, age‐related macular degeneration (ARMD)cataract. After receiving written informed permission, all patients with chronic renal disease who visit the ophthalmology outpatient department (OPD) were included in the research, regardless of their age or gender. Patients who had previously had a kidney transplant as well as those who refused to have a dilated fundus examination were not accepted. 18 months from December 2016 to May 2018 saw the examination of 188 eyes belonging to 104 individuals. According to our research, there was a 65.1% male predominance and a 1.8:1 male to female ratio. The age group of 46‐60 years (32.6%) had the highest number of patients seen, with a mean age of 45.23±14.81. The current investigation demonstrated a high correlation between chronic renal disease and ocular manifestations. It is essential that CKD patients have an eye examination in situations where ocular involvement is present since delayed detection of this condition might result in irreparable and permanent sight loss.
