Patients and researchers are examining a possible link between GLP-1 drugs and a rare form of vision loss sometimes described as an “eye stroke.” Reports from ABC News, The Boston Globe, Al Jazeera and USA Today frame the issue as a potential risk rather than an established causal relationship.
Hundreds of lawsuits allege that GLP-1 medications including Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro caused permanent vision loss, according to the New York Post and KBTX News 3. The claims are allegations and do not by themselves establish that the drugs caused the reported injuries.
People using GLP-1 medications who have concerns about changes in their eyesight should seek medical guidance rather than stopping prescribed treatment without consulting a health professional.
