Semiglutide and Tirzepatide drugs, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, are medications often used to help with weight loss and type 2 diabetes. While it’s great for managing sugar levels, it can sometimes cause changes in your eyes, particularly if you already have an eye condition called diabetic retinopathy. It is important to have regular eye exams to monitor for any potential eye-related side effects with these medication use.
New research links semaglutide and tirzepatide, which are GLP-1 agonists used to treat type 2 diabetes and aid weight loss, to a rare eye disease that may cause vision loss.
