Hi doctor,
My friend was misdiagnosed with having lupus and was put
on plaquenil for about 10 years. She got plaquenil toxicity and
it damaged her retina. After that she went to a number of doctors and found she never had lupus.Her sight stabilized to where she is considered legally blind. She was able to read with glasses or possibly a magnifying glass.
Now she has cataracts and cannot see to read. She is having the
Cataracts removed and is hoping she will be able to read again. Her opthamologist said her eyes
have stabilized where there is no further damage. Can you make a
comment as to what the possibility is of her being able to read after
the cataracts are removed? Is it possible?
Thank you for your comments.
