antimalarial drugs

Bull’s eye maculopathy related to antimalarial drugs, such as hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, is a form of retinal toxicity characterized by concentric rings of retinal pigment epithelium loss around the fovea. This condition results in vision changes, including loss of central vision. Regular ophthalmic screenings are crucial as the risk increases with the duration of drug use and cumulative dose. Early detection through visual field testing and OCT can prevent irreversible damage and necessitate medication adjustment.
