Several studies and ongoing research are examining whether GLP‑1 medicines such as semaglutide and tirzepatide — substances used in weight‑loss drugs from Novo and Eli Lilly — may, in rare cases, be linked to the unusual eye disease NAION, as previously reported by Life Science Focus.

NAION is a rare condition that affects the small blood vessels in the front part of the optic nerve and can cause visual field defects and sudden vision loss, which may become permanent.
