Today, we are informing patients and health care providers of a potential increased risk of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) associated with use of GLP-1 RA medications. NAION is a rare condition that can result in acute, painless, decreased vision in one eye, including permanent vision loss. Symptoms of NAION include sudden, painless vision loss in one eye that patients may notice upon waking: visual defects such as blind spots, distortion of colors, blurriness, or tunnel vision. Patients should contact their health care professional right away if they have any of these symptoms. fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-co…
