We agreed with the conclusions of Latasiewicz et al1 ‘Hydroxychloroquine retinopathy: an emerging problem', which cited cases of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)-induced retinal damage. Three patients had received 400 mg HCQ daily for over 15 years (equaling 4.93 mg/kg/day in two and 5.6 mg/kg/day in one) and all developed maculopathies of varying severity. The study by Latasiewicz et al1 recommended a standardized screening protocol to monitor for retinal toxicity in patients treated with HCQ. Ocular toxicity ranged from non-significant keratopathy to a potentially blinding retinopathy as described previously with varying doses of HCQ. 1, 2 In 2016 the American Academy of Ophthalmology recommended a maximum daily HCQ use of 5.0 mg/kg, a baseline fundal examination to exclude pre-existing maculopathy and an annual screening after 5 years of HCQ use. 3Being a synthetic antimalarial, HCQ is used for immunomodulation in autoimmune diseases. 2 Commonly used daily doses of HCQ are 200mg or 400 mg (which equals a dose of 5.3 mg/kg and 2.6 mg/kg for a 75 kg patient, respectively), and therapeutic plasma concentrations of 500-2000 ng HCQ/ml have previously been described.
