Retinal Toxicity can occur due to systemic exposure to many di‡erent drugs including: hydroxychloroquine (anti-malarial and rheumatoid arthritis drug), didanosine (HIV drug) and thioridazine (schizophrenia drugs). Typically, this is apparent due to a hyperautofluorescent ring that occurs around the macula on autofluorescent images. However, in Asian patients toxicity may appear di‡use.
