Is Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) Putting Your Vision at Risk?
If you or a loved one have experienced sudden vision loss or serious eye problems after being prescribed semaglutide for diabetes or weight loss, you are not alone. A recent study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association of Ophthalmology revealed a disturbing association between semaglutide and Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION), a condition that can lead to irreversible blindness. This condition may also be referred to as ischemic optic neuropathy (ICD-10 code H47.01) by some physicians. At Harrison Davis Morrison Jones, we are committed to fighting for the rights of those harmed by dangerous drugs. You may be entitled to compensation.
Understanding the Risks: Semaglutide and Vision Loss
Semaglutide, known by brand names such as Ozempic and Wegovy, has become widely prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes and aiding in weight loss. While effective for these conditions, semaglutide has been associated with NAION, a serious eye condition that can result in sudden, painless vision loss. This condition is the second most common optic neuropathy, and once vision is lost, it often cannot be restored.
Signs and Symptoms of NAION:
- Sudden, painless vision loss in one or both eyes
- Decreased vision, particularly in the morning
- A noticeable dark area or “shadow” in your vision
- Difficulty seeing colors or details clearly
If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms after starting semaglutide, it’s critical to seek medical attention immediately.
