🚨OZEMPIC LINKED TO BLINDNESS IN MAJOR STUDY

A Johns Hopkins study finds Ozempic and Wegovy users face higher risks of an “eye stroke” (NAION)—a condition that can cause permanent vision loss.

Doctors tracked 37 million people and found a clear link between semaglutide (Ozempic) and the blinding disorder, which has no cure.

Some patients went blind overnight, while others saw improvements after stopping the drug.

Researchers warn doctors to weigh the risks of this potentially irreversible side effect.

🚨OZEMPIC USERS REPORT SUDDEN BLINDNESS IN ALARMING NEW STUDY

Nine U.S. patients suffered vision loss after taking weight loss drugs Ozempic and Mounjaro.

One patient went blind in both eyes within weeks of starting treatment.

Doctors link the issue to blood vessel damage from rapid blood sugar changes.

JAMA Ophthalmology Researchers:

“The exact cause remains unclear, but sudden drops in blood sugar may temporarily damage blood vessels in the eyes”

Danish health officials have launched an investigation as cases mount.

Most patients regained vision after stopping the medication.
