Intraocular Pressure and Hemodialysis Midwestern Brazil

Patients were divided into groups according to the days on which they underwent hemodialysis. Intraocular pressure was measured with a Kowa HA-2 Perkins applanation tonometer. The tonometry included three measurements in the central region of the cornea before and after hemodialysis. In all patients, the measurements were performed three times on the days when hemodialysis sessions were performed, with 24 hours between each session, and the means of the measurements were obtained. All parameters were measured under prior corneal anesthesia with 0.1% proparacaine and 0.25% fluorescein eye drops.
