    Abstract:

    Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine play more and more important roles in the treatment of rheumatism, skin diseases and autoimmune diseases. Irreversible macular diseases,retinopathy and even permanent blindness are common side effects of them. High dose per kilogram of body weight, duration of treatment, presence or absence of keratosis and renal or liver dysfunction are all related to this. Therefore, the examination of the two kinds of drug lesions is also relatively complicated. FAF and SD-OCT are required for wide field examination. For patients with complicated retinopathy, multifocal electroretinogram and the like are also required for diagnosis. The specific examination methods need to be determined by clinical ophthalmologists according to the patient's medication and preliminary examination.
