Plaquenil can cause eye problems. You are supposed to get your eyes looked at before starting it and during treatment. Maybe Google eye, plaquenil.

Just so you know, my llmd had me get a baseline eye/macular exam before starting plaquenil.
Both my LLMD and the eye doc have NEVER seen anyone have problems from the drug in their many years in practice.
But they both thought it was still a good idea for the baseline test.

My eye doctor saw one person who lost vision from Plaquenil. It was somebody who was on the medication for over 20 years and never had his eyes tested for it. Your want a visual fields test.
