Hydroxychloroquine retinopathy, although affects a small number of people treated with it, has the importance that can produce permanent visual loss and interruption of its administration is the only management of the toxicity. After cessation of the treatment there is little if any visual recovery. Therefore, early detection of retinopathy, when the retinal alterations can be reversed, is essential and a current challenge of medicine. Imaging techniques as the fundus autofluorescence and spectral domain-optical coherence tomography and functional exploration of the retina by the multifocal electroretinogram show new objective morphological and functional alterations induced by hydroxychloroquine. This review details the main findings obtained with these techniques and their impact on the current concepts of the issue and its prevention.
