This is one of the topics we discussed at the conference I attended last week! These popular medications can have very serious ocular side effects! For most people the benefits far outweigh the risks, so you shouldn’t discontinue or avoid them, but you should have an eye exam before starting them and make sure your eye doctor is aware that you are on them!

About 6% of U.S. adults take GLP-1 medications for chronic conditions or weight loss.

But, according to a new AOA report, these medications can impact your eye health. If you’re taking a GLP-1, a comprehensive eye exam with a doctor of optometry is essential to stay on top of any changes in your vision.
