Показать описание
People taking weight-loss and diabetes injection drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy may have an increased risk of sudden and irreversible vision loss and blindness, a new study has found.

However, doctors say there’s no reason for patients who take the uber popular drugs to panic or discontinue taking their prescriptions.

The study, conducted by Harvard researchers and published Wednesday in JAMA Ophthalmology, analyzed data from 16,827 patients over a six-year period at the Mass Eye and Ear Harvard teaching hospital.

Global's Katherine Ward has the details.

I lost weight on Ozempic but now I can’t see myself.

We also don't know what other underlying health issues those people had, age, past eye injuries etc. So much more needs to be known.

that should not happen at all! Why would you take stuff like that, damage yourself, and after you lost the fat you are blind and can not see the result... yea great stuff. Would never take this, not for loosing fat and not for a sugar problem! No thanks

So... it is safe and effective. At least drugtakers don't see any problems there.

Losing ones eyesight is a small price to pay for the ability to stuff ones face with junk food and stay slim.

That triple cheeseburger and chug sized soda wasn't actually worth it. Stop being gross.

So this isn’t to create extreme fear in users?
