I know it does happen (eye damage) but it is rare. And this even states that other factors increase, the already rare, risk...liver/kidney disease and previous retinal disease.

I wasn't aware IdiopathicPN member was confirmed to have Plaquenil induced neuropathy. She only took it for 4 months and I don't know how it could be concluded that this was the cause. Of course it's possible, but how would she know, taking it such a short period of time? It takes almost 90 days just to build up in the system...longer for therapeutic results. That would be a extremely rare case...even according to the articles description.

There is a ton of things out there that can cause neuropathy...hundreds. How would they even confirm a toxic cause?
