In 36 subjects in chronic hemodialysis treatment and in 36 patients with a renal transplant, well functioning for more than one year, the ocular complications related to the specific form of treatment were evaluated and compared. In the group of the dialyzed subjects ocular pathology was composed by: lens opacities in 9 cases, corneal calcifications in 7 cases, hypertensive fundus in 8 cases. In no patient these lesions produced measurable visus reductions. In the transplant group ocular pathology was composed by: lens opacities in 28 patients, hypertensive fundus in 7 and intraocular hypertension in one. One case of herpes cheratytis and one case of endophtalmytis have also been observed. In 9 patients these lesions produced a remarkable visus reduction. In conclusion renal transplantation shows a greater incidence of ocular complications if compared to hemodialysis. This situation has not important consequences on the rehabilitation of the transplanted subject for the possibility of surgical correction of the cataract.
