Better Than We Found It

  • Is Ozempic (or other semaglutides) affecting vision? (12:30)
    • There is a specific eye condition (called NAION) that can be aggravated by semiglutides and cause permanent blindness.
    • It is still being studied; however, people who are obese or have diabetes are at a higher risk of GLP-1s.
    • Just be aware: if you are on a GLP-1 and have any changes in your vision, consult your doctor right away.
    • Drugs such as these should be considered a last resort, not a first resort, and the side effects are why. (22:00)
