"They will leave you blind": a new serious complication has been discovered in weight loss injections
Weight loss injections may be linked to eye disease.
Ozempic and Wegovy injections can cause eye diseases and, as a result, blindness.
Patients with diabetes who were given the shots were more than four times more likely to be diagnosed with non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy, The Sun reports, citing research.
Those who took these drugs had a risk of developing the above disease several times higher than those who took other weight loss drugs.
These injections can cause eye diseases that lead to blindness.
Scientists have found that patients with diabetes who were prescribed semaglutide were most often diagnosed with eye problems.
The researchers also noted that vision loss usually occurs in one eye.
Ophthalmologist Joseph Rizzo said Ozempic has many benefits and the risk of eye disease is rare.
However, doctors are obliged to warn about this complication.
