Anyone having second thoughts with semaglutide due to rare eye condition?

[Anonymous]

With the recent study finding a higher risk of a rare eye stroke with these meds, is anyone reluctant to start (or continue) using these miracle drugs?

No. I know people with significant rye problems and they still take it. They rather be skinny and blind.

No they’d rather be alive and take the low risks of side effects which go along with virtually any medication.

That was not what they articulated to me but thank you for your input.

No. If I stopped doing anything that had a minimal risk, Id do nothing.

Given that these meds combat some of the major causes of eye stroke, no. The people who have developed this condition while taking semaglutide were prime candidates for it with or without the drug.

Really? Someone said to you “I’d rather be skinny and blind?” And meant it?

BS. You’re just another troll. No thanks for your input.

Bullshit.

Nope. This drug reduces my cardio risk and that’s more significant.

Risk of eye problems is in people who already have diabetes (and thus are already at high risk for vision problems). I’m skipping the who getting diabetes part altogether.

Thanks for your concern, Troll.

I'm on Wegovy and I'm not concerned, because due to the weight loss from Wegovy my cholesterol has returned to normal. The high cholesterol is far more of a proven danger than a rare risk of a rare side effect.

Eating too much is terrible for your eyes, so any supplement that reduces how much you eat will be helpful.

Except if it doesn’t. The study literally said 3x increase in eye strokes for people on these meds. If you want to take an educated risk, go ahead, but I don’t understand people who choose to deny info/remain ignorant when presented with facts.

The new study finds that people with diabetes who were prescribed semaglutide — which is marketed as Ozempic and Wegovy, among other names — were more than four times more likely to develop NAION compared with people with diabetes on other medications.

Similarly, those who were prescribed the drug to treat overweight or obesity were over seven times more likely to receive a NAION diagnosis than people taking other weight loss drugs.

As someone who has had ocular migraines since my 20s and other family history of eye problems, yes, this info is a dealbreaker for me.
