About this trial
This study aims to evaluate retinal and choroidal microvascular changes using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in patients receiving hydroxychloroquine therapy. Hydroxychloroquine is commonly used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and may cause retinal toxicity with long-term use. OCTA is a non-invasive imaging modality that allows detailed assessment of retinal vascular changes.
