Ozempic (semaglutide) is part of a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. While highly effective in controlling blood sugar, the medication has been linked to severe gastrointestinal issues, vision damage, and even life-altering injuries in some patients.
A small study published in JAMA Ophthalmology analyzed data from nine patients who developed severe vision issues, including sudden blindness, while taking semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound).
