US Lawsuits Allege Vision Loss Linked to GLP-1 Drugs Amid Ongoing Investigations
Dozens of lawsuits in the US allege that GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound may cause nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), a rare condition causing sudden vision loss. Manufacturers Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly deny these claims, stating no proven causal link exists and emphasizing ongoing safety monitoring. Researchers and regulators continue investigating the potential association. Legal proceedings have consolidated cases for review, with plaintiffs citing inadequate warnings about this rare eye condition.
