4. Conclusions This review provides a detailed overview of standard and novel retinal imaging modalities for HCQ retinopathy. Retinal imaging is important as HCQ retinopathy may result in progressive and irreversible loss of vision, and progression of damage can occur even after cessation of HCQ treatment.
