Anecdotally a friend has told me her father is on it and it is affecting his vision, in her words, "making him go blind"
Just stop it, the blood flow gets back.
I'd hope he would do that before any permanent damage. Is there some kind of discontinuation syndrome with Ozempic or other GLP-1 agonists?
Read up on it, medications come with all (known) explanations, and ofc talk with the doctor who prescribed it.
