FDA Issues Warnings on Rare Vision Loss Risk from GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs
The US FDA has issued new safety warnings for certain GLP-1 weight loss and diabetes drugs, including Ozempic and Wegovy, about a rare eye condition called Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischaemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION). This condition can cause sudden, painless vision loss in one eye, potentially leading to permanent damage. While the FDA's review found a slight increase in NAION cases among users, it did not establish a direct causal link. Experts advise patients not to stop medication without consulting healthcare providers.
