Abstract

Hydroxychloroquine has been widely used for treatment of autoimmune diseases for a long time due to its safety and having fewer side effects than any other immunosuppressive agents; but it can cause retinal toxicity that is irreversible and can progress even after drug cessation. Physicians should be concerned and perform proper eye screening tests to prevent loss of vision; and to avoid unnecessary drug cessation.
