Abstract
Visual complaints are frequent in dialysis patients, especially at the onset of chronic haemodialysis treatment. Many experience visual disturbances or headache, that usually are not due to a disequilibrium syndrome, causing a relative increase of intraocular pressure. In some patients these complaints do not disappear, returning during each individual dialysis session.
