Ophthalmic Manifestations Heralding Renal Pathology: A Rare Case of Bilateral Optic Disc Edema with Exudative Maculopathy in IgA Nephropathy

This case highlights a rare primary presentation of IgAN manifesting initially with ocular findings secondary to malignant hypertension. Fundus examination served as a critical diagnostic clue, leading to early identification of renal disease. Prompt multidisciplinary management is essential to prevent irreversible visual loss and systemic complications.
