My understanding about Plaquenil is the doses taken for autoimmune disease is far less then that for Malaria, and even then the incident of neuropathy (with malaria dosing) is very low. I do know that eye damage from Plaquenil is extremely rare and most ophthalmologists tell me that they will never see a case...but they still do bi-annual checks for any early signs of damage...just in case.

If you start taking this, you will need a baseline eye exam and routine visits to an ophthalmologist for monitoring...but again, eye damage is very rare.

Honestly, I have not seen anyone on this forum with neuropathy from Plaquenil.
