What happened
The New York Post reported that a man's claim of sudden, permanent blindness after using Ozempic is one of hundreds of lawsuits filed against GLP-1 drug makers alleging inadequate warning of vision loss risk. Separately, a Medical Economics roundup noted reporting that Wegovy may carry a higher risk of 'eye stroke' than other GLP-1 drugs, and a systematic review in the Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology examined a possible link between GLP-1 receptor agonist use and age-related macular degeneration.
