Plaquenil eye issues

Long story short, I’m on plaquenil, diagnosed with SEL. (Been on it for 3 months) Yesterday I went to the pharmacy to pick up my plaquenil, and the pharmacist went on to a huge rant about how every person she’s known taking plaquenil has gone blind, and how it’s such a shame that I am a young childless woman who is taking plaquenil. She suggested multiple doctors (I’ve been to the best doctors of the country) and suggested I get off it immediately.

I, of course, scared myself and called my rheumatologist and optometrist and told me I’d be fine as long as I get my eyes checked once a year.

Has anyone else had issues with plaquenil and their eyes? Thank you!
