  • Title: Hydroxychloroquine Screening Alert: Change is in the Wind.
    Author: Marmor MF.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina; 2017 Feb 01; 48(2):96-98. PubMed ID: 28195610.
    Abstract:
    Recent studies have changed the management of hydroxychloroquine retinopathy. This editorial outlines a new standard. Estimate dose by real weight, staying below 5 mg/kg. Asian patients may show initial damage outside the parafovea. Renal disease, maculopathy, and tamoxifen are major risk factors. Proper screening allows long usage and avoids bull's eye retinopathy.
