I've just had this argument with my rheumy. By the time damage to your eyes is seen on scans there will already be damage to your colour vision. By the time damage is done not only is it impossible to repair bit of can continue AFTER you have stopped taking the drug, sometimes for many years or many years after.

I got color changes in red in the middle of my vision and I have refused to take any more.

7.5%, I in 13 people will have changes on scans at 5 years. But the time you see it on scans, it's too late, the damage is done.

I am partially sighted in one eye, I would refuse to take it if I was already blind in one eye. The risks really are underplayed, I think they hope you die of old age before the true effects come through.

I would rather be in a wheelchair than unable to see well enough to drive.
