The major risk factor for retinal toxicity appears to be the combination of cumulative dose >800 gm and age >70 years (presumably due to the increased prevalence of macular disease in the elderly) A baseline eye evaluation is not routinely recommended in patients younger than age 40 and with no family history of eye disease. If a patient has had a clinical response to HCQ after 6 months, then a monitoring routine should be instituted. Patients with abnormal renal function or those who have received HCQ for more than 10 years require more frequent ophthalmologic evaluation. In the absence of risk factors, it is recommended that an ophthalmologic examination and central field testing be performed every 6-12 months. The central 10[degree] of the visual field is the initial site of antimalarial retinal toxicity. An Amsler test or a modified Amsler test can be used to screen for this early abnormality (35). This can be administered by self-testing if the patient is reliable, or by the patient's primary physician, to augment formal ophthalmologic testing.
