FDA warns GLP-1 drugs carry potential risk of rare eye condition

FinanceInternationalSTATNov 10, 2026, 1:26 AMAI summary

The FDA warned that GLP-1 drugs carry a potential risk of a rare but serious eye condition and required pharmaceutical companies to inform patients and doctors. The condition is non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), sometimes called an "eye stroke," caused by insufficient blood flow to the optic nerve. It typically causes sudden vision loss and, in severe cases, can lead to blindness; there are no proven treatments. These drugs include Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy and Eli Lilly's Mounjaro and Zepbound.
