If you are in a GLP-1 for diabetes or weight loss (Byetta, Victoza, Saxenda, Novo Nordisk, Trulicity, Adlyxin, Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, Mounjaro, or Zepbound) you should see an eyecare professional like Dr. Snyder at least every 6 months and possibly every 3 months. Although generally helpful, these medications can cause optic neuritis, worsening of diabetic retinopathy, and blurred vision. You should also have a baseline eye exam before you start any of these. Call immediately if you experience blurred vision.
