Severe macular edema was confirmed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) (central macular thickness [CMT] as 595 mum) [Figure 1a]. Her symptoms improved gradually after cessation of hydroxychloroquine, and further serial image study confirmed subsiding of the macular edema without any further treatment [Figure 1b-d].
Vision improved with the resolution of macular edema correspondingly after cessation of hydroxychloroquine
