Ophthalmology - Plaquenil Screening Clinic

Patients who are taking hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) or chloroquine need to have periodic eye checks done. We offer a screening clinic to provide this service, but it does require a referral from your doctor who prescribed the medication. At the exam our Plaquenil screening tech will do a basic eye exam including color vision and central vision tests. Then an Ophthalmologist will look at your eye. The results will be recorded in your medical record. Therefore it is important to have your medical record at the time of your exams. It is important for us to know the dosage of your medications and how long you have been on them.

This is an extremely busy clinic. The Ophthalmology Department does everything possible to complete your appointment quiickly and efficiently. We ask for your patience as at times you may be required to wait your turn for your exam.
