Abstract
Optic neuropathy is one of a number of ocular complications occurring in patients with end-stage renal failure receiving hemodialysis. Optic neuropathy may result from uremia or ischemia. We describe the case o f a patient with sequential loss of vision in each eye occurring whils t on hemodialysis and associated with hypotension. We postulate an isc hemic etiology for this patients blindness.
