Case Report: Recurrent intraocular pressure elevation during hemodialysis in a patient with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma
This case demonstrates that ocular dialysis disequilibrium can cause symptomatic IOP spikes in glaucoma patients and may be unresponsive to medical therapy alone. Surgical intervention may be necessary for long-term IOP control. Early recognition and interdisciplinary coordination between ophthalmology and nephrology is critical to prevent irreversible vision loss.
