High Risk Medication Monitoring

High Risk Medication Monitoring

Typically recommended at least annually for patients that are taking medications that can have severe ocular complications (such as Plaquenil, chemotherapy drugs, prednisone, and tamoxifen).

  • Biomicroscopy is performed to screen the retina for bleeding or medication deposition within the eye
  • The lens is assessed for formation of medication-induced cataract
  • An OCT scan is performed to look for swelling or damage to the retina
  • An automated visual field test is performed to monitor for potentially permanent visual field loss
