| Description |
In 2011, revised guidelines for screening of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) retinopathy recommended spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), fundus autofluorescence or multifocal electroretinogram to be performed in addition to ophthalmologic examination and automated 10-2 perimetry based on studies that showed SD-OCT changes can occur before visual field loss. Sensitivity and predictive value of SD-OCT compared to visual fields are unknown. We undertook a point prevalence study of SD-OCT in a well characterized population of 64 patients with various rheumatological diseases on long-term HCQ therapy in order to determine the utility of this test in the evaluation of potential toxicity. |
