Abstract

Retinal Pigment Epithelium Retinal Vessel Quinine Sulfate Cystoid Macular Edema Benzalkonium Chloride
Many drugs besides chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine may induce toxic maculopathy. Most toxicity effects are reversible upon discontinuation, resulting in minimal or no visual loss. Understanding the mechanism and pattern of macular toxicity is of great importance to recognize early stages to avoid irreversible vision loss.
