What Causes Poor Vision After Taking Plaquenil?

I have been taking plaque nil tablets now for about 3-4 years and I find now that I have plaque nil toxicity,and it is effecting my vision. My Doctor says this is very rare, but it does happen. I went to my eye doctor this morning and the damage is progressing, even though I stopped the medication. He says that this should not happen once the plaque nil is stopped. Now what do I do?
