Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is an eye side effect associated with Ozempic in numerous medical reports over the past couple of years. This article provides an Ozempic eye side effect NAION warnings update as of late July 2026 covering the US and some other countries around the world.
On July 23, 2026, the Australian drug regulatory agency Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) issued a Medicines Safety Update titled “GLP-1 RAs and rare vision disorder”, which pointed out that the Ozempic eye side NAION warnings would be added in Australia.
Further, in that July 2026 TGA Medicines Safety Update where the Ozempic NAION risk is highlighted, one finds a list of earlier actions taken by some other international drug regulators:
- United Kingdom: MHRA drug safety update: Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic and Rybelsus): risk of Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION)
- European Union nations: EMA News: PRAC concludes eye condition NAION is a very rare side effect of semaglutide medicines Ozempic, Rybelsus and Wegovy
- World Health Organization member countries: WHO News: The use of semaglutide medicines and risk of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION)
However, the current (Revised: 5/2026 version) Ozempic Prescribing Information, or drug label, in the United States still does not include warnings about Ozempic-related eye side effects, such as NAION.
Drug injury lawsuits involving Ozempic for patients with vision loss due to NAION are being filed in the US against Novo Nordisk for its failure to include Ozempic eye side effect NAION warnings.
We emphasize that because there are no warnings in the current Ozempic drug label about an increased risk of NAION, those Ozempic lawsuits are not being filed against the doctors who prescribed Ozempic to the people who have suffered vision loss due to this serious eye-related side effect.
People diagnosed with NAION can submit an Ozempic Vision Loss Case Evaluation Form online. Or, if you prefer, call 910-256-2971 to talk with drug injury lawyer Tom Lamb about a possible Ozempic NAION lawsuit.
