Summary

This study will use a special eye scan called OCTA to look for early signs of retinal damage in 90 adults who have taken hydroxychloroquine for at least a year. Hydroxychloroquine is a common medication for autoimmune diseases, but long-term use can harm the retina. The goal is to see if OCTA can detect changes earlier than standard tests, helping doctors monitor patients more effectively.
