Hi Esther6 and thank you for the response. Yes, my rheumatologist sent me for a full eye examination when she prescribed plaquenil to develop a baseline. I had that done and after a year I went for a check up. I went from 20/20 vision in both eyes to 20/25 in one eye and 20/30 in the other. Also on occasion, my eyes burn like I have sunscreen in them. Anyway, I will see what my rheumatologist says when she gets the eye examination results.
Thanks again and take good care.

If your on Plaquenal you need to see an opthamologist every six months.
