Core Tip	Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is typically considered when treating rheumatic and autoimmune diseases. It has been currently considered to help treat symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 and to help alleviate several clinical manifestations after infection. In this letter, several ophthalmological implications that should be taken into consideration when using this drug are discussed. While the drug may be beneficial in treating symptoms, ophthalmological manifestations can be of clinical importance. Proper diagnoses, periodic testing, and correct management of patients in chronic treatment with HCQ can ensure that any potential ophthalmological side effects are minimized.
