The multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) can provide objective corroboration for visual fields, and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) can show damage topographically
There is no diet or medical therapy to prevent or treat this type of retinal toxicity; the best approach is primary prevention
Long-term use of hydroxychloroquine can cause retinopathy, which may result in severe and progressive visual loss
Of the patients with rapid thinning, 38 eventually demonstrated conventional OCT or 10-2 visual field signs of hydroxychloroquine retinal toxicity
Methods: HVF tests were interpreted retrospectively in this observational
Visual Acuity Right eye (OD): 20/30 Left eye (OS): 20/25 Pupils: Reactive to light in each eye from 5 mm in the dark to 2 mm in the light
Use statistical analysis to determine the
A visual field test can determine if you have blind spots (called scotoma) in your vision and where they are
New data regarding the early natural history of hydroxychloroquine retinopathy identified that structural changes on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) may precede visual field deficits detectable on
Automated VF testing can be valuable in detecting early changes in the retina and, in a reliable patient, can be the most sensitive test to detect such changes (Figure 2)

Of 2361 patients who had taken hydroxychloroquine continuously for at least 5 years and who had 10-2 visual fields or SD-OCT, 177 (7
The purpose of this study is to report the novel finding of early optical coherence tomography (OCT) abnormalities due to HCQ toxicity that may develop in the setting of normal
