Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 , yes plaquenil does, I cannot go without sunglasses I have very dry eyes and No tears. They tried to open my tear ducts & they put plugs but it didn't work so now they want to close the tear ducts. I use a lot of artificial tears to keep my eyes moisture. The DR said that all this is do with Arthritis & the Meds. With Plaquenil I have to have my eyes check every 6 months for 2 years and next year will only be once a year, Thank God... God Bless. Lucy I spoke with the doctor who gave me my eye exam andwas told that Plaquenil can cause problems with theretina, but that Plaquenil used to be given in muchhigher doses, such as 800 to 1000mg a day and that iswhy it used to cause those problems. I can't say forsure, just what I was told.-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
