Wow - that is great information - thank you! I am definitely going to bring this to my Rheum, next appointment. My total body weight is 137, so I am guessing my Lean Body Weight is under 135! I couldn't figure out the mathematical formula, so I'll let him do that  ???  ;D

I have been on 400mg/day for two years with no problems yet (just had an eye exam a month ago), but you never know.

Thanks for sharing. Fortunately, I have marvelous docs, opthamologist included, who are aware of the potential impact on vision.

Thank you so much. Im only taking 300 a day because my weight is 120. I go to a regular eye doctor and a retina doctor once a year. I been going to a retina specialist for the last 3 years because of floaters but I feel more safe now that Im on plaquenil.
