It is worth getting your eyes checked by an optician/optometrist.
There is an eye condition called macular degeneration - it has two variants known as 'wet' and 'dry'. With wet macular degeneration there is a treatment that needs to be started promptly.
According to the leaflet I was given when I was prescribed Hydroxychloroquine it can cause damage to the macular.
Use an amsler grid daily to check your eyesight.
