Antimalarial agents and the eye.

Abstract:

:Antimalarial compounds have been demonstrated to be both safe and efficacious in the treatment of lupus erythematosus as well as several other dermatologic conditions. It is imperative, however, that physicians familiarize themselves with the potential complications associated with the use of these agents. Furthermore, it is essential that a successful collaborative relationship be developed between the dermatologist and the ophthalmologist who are to treat and monitor the patient to avoid any untoward complications that might afflict the patient. It is important to stress that patients on antimalarial drug therapy be evaluated by an ophthalmologist prior to starting treatment and every 4 to 6 months thereafter. The use of Amsler's grids in compliant patients is recommended. If the patient develops retinal changes consistent with the diagnosis of premaculopathy, then careful consideration should be given to the availability and use of alternative agents.
