Hello. I posting regarding my son who is 15 and has SCLE and Raynauds. He has been on plaquenil for a year this month. I took him to see his regular eye doctor for his yearly exam(he wears contacts) and found out his eyes have changed dramatically. The doctor seemed concerned when he learned Jesse was on plaquenil. He scheduled him to come in on the 24th for a certain type of test. Can anyone tell me exactly how plaquenil effects the eyes and what we can expect? Thanks in advance!

Update...Today was his eye appointment and he had a field of vision of test. The doctor said there is cause for concern and was faxing the results to his rheumy.He said so much we didn't understand but one thing I did understand was retinal damage. I have to call the rheumy tomorrow to see what comes next. The doctor did mention how rare it is for the plaquenil to affect him like this. Just our luck huh. I will update when I talk his rheumy.
