Patients Sue GLP-1 Drugmakers Over Risk of Sudden Vision Loss
WSJ ^ | 18 Sept 2026 | Alex Janin

Some countries have compelled Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly to include warnings or information about NAION, a rare vision-loss condition, on their GLP-1 drug labels.

There is no NAION warning on the drugs’ labels in the U.S., though the Food and Drug Administration is investigating a potential link.

Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly face lawsuits from patients claiming the medications caused the condition, but both companies are fighting the litigation.

Not to worry! A cure for this condition was available in the 1950s, when I heard about it as a kid.

Stop it when you first need glasses.

It damages some nerves. Loss of cravings can also include loss of sight.

If someone posts the archive.org copy, please let me know.

Gotta get my wife off these drugs and get her to address restoring her gut flora and liver to make her own GLP-1s.

Oh, okay ... sure. So, completely worth it, then?

Doc: Hey, Joe ... look at this way ... you might need to learn braille, but ... you’re not overweight!

No matter how many times my doctor recommends these drugs, I will never take them. I’ve seen the bad side effects and don’t want any part of it.

Agree. I was thinking of asking my doctor - after my SIL lost 40 lbs. and two friends lost 70 and 100 lbs. on GLPs.

Saw the effects of the “safe” COVID shot on family members - and am now scared to death of any of these shots - and their long term effects.

I went to light up a cigg once and just lit the lighter, and my vision went black- couldn’t even see the flame- lasted about 2o seconds or so- no idea what caused it- hasn’t happened since (15 years have gone by)- not diabetic- not on anything that would cause it- Very scary situation-
