New proposal for a multimodal imaging approach for the subclinical detection of hydroxychloroquine-induced retinal toxicity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus by Ricard Cervera, Alfredo Adan, Gerard Espinosa, Jose Rios, Olga Araujo, José Hernández-Rodríguez, Laura Pelegrín, Ricardo P Casaroli-Marano, Halbert Hernández-Negrín, Marc Figueras-Roca, Vanesa Budi, Montse Morató

“…En face OCT and en face OCTA structural findings showed better concordance, with a kappa index &gt;0.8, and both identified the same cases of toxicity as FAF.Conclusion Although structural OCT and VF are frequently used to screen for hydroxychloroquine-induced retinal toxicity, our findings suggest that a combination of mfERG, en face OCT and en face OCTA could improve the diagnostic accuracy for subclinical retinal damage. This study emphasises the importance of a multimodal imaging strategy to promptly detect signs of hydroxychloroquine-induced retinal toxicity.…”
