Also consider this before getting a retinal scan for hydroxychloroquine use:
Retina scans carry no physical danger to your eyes . They only take harmless, safe pictures of the inside of your eye . However, they pose serious privacy and data risks . Your retinal pattern is a unique biometric code . If hackers steal this data from a company's computer system, you cannot change your eyes like you change a password
Interesting. I have boxes and boxes of HCQ for IBS. But I'm pretty much cured so I've dropped from 200mg/day to 200mg/week. That's a dose of 200/77 = 2.6 mg/kg weekly. I think my eyes are safe!
