A novel 5-ring multifocal electroretinography stimulus for detecting hydroxychloroquine retinal toxicity

ConclusionsIn this exploratory study, our novel 5-ring mfERG protocol significantly shortened data acquisition time while providing comparable results to the standard 61-hexagon stimulus for detecting HCQ-induced electrophysiological changes that are correlated with HCQ dosages and treatment duration. Our protocol has the potential to be more clinically practical by simplifying routine screening.
