She is also deeply supportive of resident well-being, always fostering an environment that values health, family, and balance. Her leadership, responsiveness, and commitment to resident success make her truly deserving of this recognition. Congratulations, Dr. Lu!

Semaglutide medications like Ozempic are commonly used to help manage blood sugar and support weight loss. While they can be very effective for weight loss, they have been associated with several eye-related concerns from blurred vision to dry eyes to sudden, painless vision loss.

Regular eye exams and close monitoring are especially important when starting or adjusting these medications.

If you notice any vision changes, discomfort, or sudden symptoms, be sure to speak with your doctor or eye care provider.
