Hi ..people taking ATT should keep doing eye checks to rule out any toxicity. Generally physicians advise about that. You will hv to stop medication and your physcian has to plan for alternative ATT. In early stages, the chances of recovery are good...but you already have scotoma ..so wait and watch .
