How To Get Rid Of Eye Floaters And Haze In Right Eye?

I am having some eye floaters (less than 7) and slight haze in my right eye. I take Methotrexate & hydroxychloroquine for RA. I have a scheduled visit with my Opthalmologist Jan 8th. Can I wait to see him or is this something I need to do sooner.

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having floaters and haze in right eye and you are on treatment with methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine.
Hydroxychloroquine is known to cause macular problems. Hence I advice you to get eye examination by ophthalmologist to rule out the complications on the eye by the use of the drugs.

Thank you
I find this answer helpful
