Hello, my mom is a RA patient and her Rhemutologist has prescribed her HCQ 200 along with other medicines. But I read at a few places that HCQ can cause damage to the other eyes, so I wanted to know if that is true even if taken under a medical expert? Also if it has a side effect as dangerous as causing harm to eyes then why it's given by most of the doctors in treatment of RA?
