Brief Summary   Hydroxychloroquine is given to patients with arthropathy associated with autoimmune diseases. However, hydroxychloroquine use is associated with ocular toxicity. In this observational study, we want to study the ocular toxicity profile of hydroxychloroquine and relationship between HCQ blood levels with ocular toxicity profile.
