Your Health Matters to Us
Recent studies have revealed a troubling link between these medications and a serious eye condition called non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). In simpler terms, this means that the optic nerve can become damaged, potentially leading to vision loss or even blindness.

Your health and well-being are our top priorities, and we’re committed to helping you understand your options and fight for the justice you deserve.
If you’ve experienced any vision changes after using Ozempic or Wegovy, we want to hear from you. Our team of caring and experienced attorneys is ready to listen to your story and guide you through the legal process.
Understanding Ozempic and Wegovy
You might be wondering how these medications work and why they might affect your vision. Let’s break it down:
Ozempic and Wegovy contain a substance called semaglutide.
They’re designed to help manage diabetes and aid in weight loss by mimicking a hormone in your body that controls appetite and blood sugar.
While they can be effective for their intended purposes, we now know they may carry hidden risks that weren’t properly disclosed.
Recognizing the Signs
If you’ve been using Ozempic or Wegovy, it’s important to be aware of potential vision changes. Some signs to watch for include:
- Sudden vision loss in one eye
- Dark areas or shadows in your field of vision
- Any unexpected changes in your eyesight
If you notice any of these symptoms, please seek medical attention immediately. Early intervention is crucial.
