Ozempic Vision Loss Lawsuit
If you've taken medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Trulicity, Zepbound, or others and have experienced sudden blindness or significant changes in your vision, you may be suffering from a condition known as Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION). This serious medical condition, often referred to as an eye stroke, results from the loss of blood flow to the optic nerve and can lead to permanent vision loss, typically in one eye.
A recent study has confirmed that certain antidiabetic medications may carry a heightened risk of vision loss or blindness. Individuals who have suffered vision loss after using these medications might be considering legal action.
Published in the medical journal JAMA Ophthalmology, the study found an increased risk of NAION in patients who took semaglutide for diabetes or weight loss.
