Ozempic eye problems caused by semaglutide-related NAION are being investigated as possible drug injury lawsuits to be filed on behalf of patients against Novo Nordisk, the responsible drug company. Similar Wegovy eye problems and Rybelsus eye problems are also possible lawsuits against Novo Nordisk insofar that the active ingredient for those two drugs is semaglutide.
There are a couple of recent medical studies about semaglutide being associated with an increased risk of NAION that provide us with more information about Rybelsus, Wegovy, and Ozempic eye problems.
The first study was reported in the medical journal International Journal of Retina and Vitreous. It found that semaglutide was associated with a higher risk of NAION, having a 2.19 hazard ratio.
The second study, which is in preprint form and not yet published in a peer-reviewed journal (but was posted December 11, 2024, online at medRxiv) “…confirms that use of semaglutide is associated to an increased risk of NAION but also that the excess absolute risk is low.”
The Brigham and Women’s Hospital website provides some basic medical information about non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). People diagnosed with NAION often experience some degree of permanent vision impairment, which can be life-altering.
Our first article concerning Ozempic eye problems, “Ozempic Side Effects Include Eye Problems With Possible Vision Loss“, was posted in July 2024. Our second article was posted several months later, “Ozempic Linked to Vision Loss With Increased Risk of NAION Side Effect“.
We are investigating drug injury lawsuits seeking legal compensation for people who received a diagnosis of NAION (non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy) while using one of Novo Nordisk’s semaglutide drugs, Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus.
