Quinine may affect the retina and optic nerve, producing visual disturbances that include blurred vision with scotomata, photophobia, diplopia, constricted visual fields, night blindness, and abnormal color perception. Although ocular toxicity is usually reversible following drug withdrawal, retinopathy and optic atrophy can occur in severe cases. All patients should be advised to immediately discontinue the drug and contact a physician if visual disturbances occur or are exacerbated during quinine therapy.
