Retinochoroidal microvascular flow and vessel density of the macular area were significantly decreased in patients who received hydroxychloroquine. Hy-droxychloroquine may damage the retinochoroidal mi-cro-vascular architecture. Optical coherence tomography angiography may contribute to the early detection of hy-dro-xychloroquine-induced retinal toxicity.
