BACKGROUND
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in elderly people over 60. The pathogenesis is still unclear. It has been suggested that lysosomal stress may lead to drusen formation, a biomarker of AMD. In this study, ARPE-19 cells were treated with chloroquine
OBJECTIVE
To report optical coherence tomography (OCT) progressive changes in chloroquine maculopathy.
METHODS
Observational case report.
METHODS
Both eyes of a patient with chloroquine maculopathy were examined serially with OCT.
RESULTS
OCT demonstrated diffuse retinal thinning involving the fovea
Corneal opacity, reversible retinal lipidosis and irreversible receptor cell degeneration are known to occur after long-term treatment with chloroquine. Female albino Wistar rats (initial age 6 weeks, weight between 100 and 150 g) were treated orally with chloroquine (40-60 mg/kg body weight) for 4
