The optical coherence tomography angiography findings of rheumatoid arthritis patients taking hydroxychloroquine.

CONCLUSION: The optical coherence tomography angiography findings showed that the parafoveal deep temporal and deep hemi-inferior vascular plexus density was reduced in patients taking hydroxychloroquine for more than 5 years despite having normal perimetry. This observation, which can be obtained only through optical coherence tomography angiography, may be relevant to the early findings of hydroxychloroquine toxicity.
