I have very dry eyes and they have seen a spot in behind my left eye . I am being sent to a Ophthalmologist to check further. I also am diabetic now also. Will let you know more when I find out more. Have appt the end of this month.

Ophthalmologist recommended eye exam for me once a year while on hydroxychloroquine

When I was taking hydroxycloroquin, I needed to have my eyes checked every 6 months because it can affect peripheral vision. It did not hurt me.

I have to go to an eye specialist too

I too developed very dry eyes. Waking in the mornings was not fun. It felt like I had buckets of sand rubbing my eyes raw. I started using Restasis three months ago and I am finally to a point where my eyes feel moist again. It takes several months to work but it has helped greatly. I hope you can find something that will help your dry eyes too.
