The European Medicines Agency has just made it official. Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus, can in very rare cases cause a serious eye condition known as NAION, which stands for non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. It is a mouthful, but here is what matters: NAION can cause sudden and sometimes permanent vision loss.
People have been complaining of vision loss but don't specify which med their on. I wish people would specify their med, it would help others out a lot.

Well the media will run with this. Glad this is a rare condition.
I believe Dr. Dan covered rare vision loss in one of his episodes a few months back.
Get ready… “ozempic eyes”….
