Different damages, one is on blood vessels, the other on optic nerve


> NAION is damage to the optic nerve of the eye caused by a sudden stop of blood flow to the optic nerve.

Sounds like it's related to blood flow also.

(Didn't read remainder of article)


> In Jakob Grauslund’s study, the researchers divided the patients into two groups: those who were treated with Ozempic and those who received other treatment. In the statistical analyses, age, gender, blood sugar and a wide range of other conditions were also taken into account.

They are comparing patients with diabetes in both groups


someone should do a study to determine whether diabetics develop blindness more often when on ozempic

perhaps this is that study


Yes, this is that study:

“Patients with type 2 diabetes who are treated with the drug Ozempic have an increased risk of developing damage to the optic nerve of the eye.”
