In this study, SLE patients showed a reduced VD in both groups. In patients treated with HCQ < 5 years, HCQ might have a protective effect on retinal microvasculature. Analysis of retinal microvascular density using OCTA could be useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of vascular alteration in patients with SLE.
