What are the signs if it is affecting your eyes. I have had blurry vision the last couple of days but I do get problems from the lyme with my eyes.

Usually, plaquenil affects the visual field. That is the eye exam that should be done every 6 months (once at baseline before starting plaquenil).

When you say vision field you mean seeing out the sides

I mean anywhere in the field of vision - peripheral and central. If you ask an eye doctor for a plaquenil exam, they'll give you a visual field test that looks for any areas in which you are unable to see the little dots light up in the test machine.
