Eye doctors are finding new links between Ozempic and vision problems
A new case series links GLP-1 use to three different eye conditions, all of which can lead to blindness.
Summary
A new study links GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic to serious eye conditions, including nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), which can lead to blindness.
Researchers reviewed nine cases where patients developed vision problems after starting semaglutide or similar medications.
While the study does not prove causation, scientists suspect the drugs may contribute to these issues by rapidly lowering blood sugar or affecting optic nerve cells.
Experts call for more research and suggest that adjusting dosage rates might help mitigate potential risks for high-risk patients.

Dude you come across as such an asshole why be like that?

I don’t care. I literally could not care any less if I come across as an asshole. The person I’m responding to spouted a bunch of nonsense and I replied in kind.
We’re having a discussion about a drug and it’s not possible to ask hard questions anonymously on the internet?
I get it, people are super touchy about their weight and don’t want to take ownership of their health.

You're making assumptions and putting words in people's mouths, disregarding what they have to say because you seem to think you know better.
Edit: also, decent people care about coming across like an asshole...
-
Im not and I didn’t AND I don’t pretend to be a decent person on the internet.
Im literally having a direct conversation. You can walk away at any time without harassment. It’s easy!
Happy to satiate your need to bicker and feel like a savior though.

You should try to be decent in all interactions in my opinion.
