Ozempic Vision Loss Lawyer Tracy Paulsen is fighting for justice for people harmed by weight loss injections like Ozempic and Wegovy. Many patients trusted the semaglutide shots they received from their healthcare providers for diabetes or weight loss, only to develop serious health issues such as vision loss and NAION (nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy).
New research suggests a dangerous, previously unknown side effect of Ozempic and Wegovy that your doctor may not have warned you about: blindness. A recent study from Harvard University shows that semaglutide drugs like Zepbound, Ozempic, and Manjaro can cause NAION, which itself causes vision loss.
For Ozempic Attorney Tracy Paulsen, representing patients harmed by semaglutide injections is part of her ongoing fight for justice. It is Rightful Legal’s mission to hold the drug manufacturers of Ozempic and Wegovy responsible for harming diabetics and other patients with these risky injections. Attorney Paulsen believes that in addition to compensating her clients, these lawsuits will inspire more protective regulations and legislation, oversight, and enforcement in the future. Ozempic NAION Lawyer Paulsen and her team want to Fight for Your Rights and punish the bad actors who have harmed you.
NAION is sudden, permanent vision loss.
Semaglutide is an injectable medication that helps control patients’ blood sugar levels and manage their weight. It works by mimicking a hormone in the body called GLP-1, which helps regulate a person’s insulin, slows their digestion, and reduces their appetite.
Doctors often prescribe semaglutide to people with Type 2 Diabetes to help lower their blood sugar. The drug is also used for weight loss in people who are obese or overweight. The medication is usually given as a weekly injection, and patients typically perform this injection themselves at home.
Some common brand names for semaglutide are Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Manjaro. Ozempic is mainly used for diabetes, while Wegovy and Zepbound are approved for weight loss.
While semaglutide can help patients lose weight and control their diabetes, it has unfortunately caused a variety of side effects. Previously, the main side effects associated with semaglutide were significant digestive problems and gallstones. However, as more patients have used these drugs for longer, new side effects are being discovered.
There are currently a number of Mass Tort Ozempic Lawsuits regarding side effects such as stomach paralysis and gallbladder issues. In February 2024, these Ozempic lawsuits were consolidated into one multidistrict litigation (MDL), called MDL 3094, In Re: Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RAS) Products Liability Litigation, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
This Ozempic Lawsuit claims that the manufacturers of semaglutide were aware or should have been aware of these side effects and did not inform the public or the medical community, and therefore failed to provide adequate warnings of the health risks associated with Ozempic and other drugs like it.
A mass tort lawsuit involves multiple plaintiffs suing one defendant or more defendants over similar injuries caused by one product or a group of similar products. Unlike class-action lawsuits, where plaintiffs are treated as a single group, mass torts allow individual claims to be tried separately while consolidating pretrial proceedings for efficiency.
Emerging research suggests a troubling link between semaglutide drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy and vision loss. GLP-1 receptor agonists, including semaglutide, are known to lower blood sugar and A1c levels significantly. However, rapid improvements in glycemic control may unexpectedly impact eye health, potentially worsening conditions like diabetic retinopathy. Experts believe that sudden changes in blood sugar could alter blood flow to the optic nerve or even cause swelling of the optic disc
These alarming statistics have drawn legal scrutiny, as thousands of Ozempic users report unexpected vision complications and even blindness.
While it is too early to estimate the exact value of these cutting edge Ozempic Vision Loss Lawsuits, potential damages victims can claim include:
Each case is unique, and a claimant’s compensation depends on their individual circumstances. More information will become available as more semaglutide NAION lawsuits proceed.
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, older adults starting semaglutide drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy may experience temporary blurred vision. This temporary side effect occurs due to blood sugar fluctuations altering the shape of the eye’s lens, which usually improves as the body adjusts to the injections.
However, a much more serious concern is permanent NAION—a condition that can cause sudden and irreversible vision loss. Since research on the potential connection between Ozempic and NAION is still developing, it remains uncertain whether stopping the medication can prevent further damage once it occurs.
