A dialysis patient with blurred vision

It thus implies a clinical diagnosis in addition to a physical finding while the term optic disc swelling is employed for the mere clinical description. We describe a haemodialysis patient who developed sudden onset of optic disc oedema with a blurred vision that was not associated with increased intracranial pressure and resolved spontaneously.
