I absolutely love the pictures news sites come up with to show the subject.

"How do we show what drug we are talking about in a picture?" "I dunno just spell it out in Scrabble. Don't use the board though, just sprinkle some letters on the table."

Anecdotally a friend has told me her father is on it and it is affecting his vision, in her words, "making him go blind"

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.
