Hi and welcome to HCM, thank you for your query.

I ve heard for dapsone but i ve never heard that it is used for some eye problem...it could have caused liver damage. And this seems like serious caute liver damage. You must stop taking this tabklet of course. Avoid alcohol,smoking and hepatotoxic drugs. Eat easier food,less fats and more fruit and vegetables. GGT should recover in several weeks.

Wish you good health. If you have any question I ll be glad to help.
