A Visual acuity was significantly preserved in those with ELM preservation vs. disruption (p = 0.027; median logMAR acuity 0.1 vs. 0.17; n = 71), as was visual function on 10-2 automated visual field testing (B; p = 0.024; median MD −3.67 dB vs. −8.95 dB; n = 41; both Mann–Whitney two-tailed test). There was no significant difference between groups in terms of duration of hydroxychloroquine exposure (p = 0.16), age at diagnosis (p = 0.67) and daily dose (p = 0.44).
