There’s a lot of noise online about semaglutide, sudden vision loss, and scary eye complications. If you’re taking a GLP-1 (or thinking about it), you might be wondering: Am I putting my vision at risk?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mina Farahani, a cornea, cataract, and refractive specialist, to get the real story on GLP-1s and eye health. We cover what the latest data actually says about vision loss risk, why a baseline eye exam matters before starting treatment, what symptoms should never be ignored, and the simple habits that protect your eyesight long-term.
