Can Blurred Vision From Ozempic Go Away?

Blurred vision from Ozempic can sometimes go away, but it's very important to talk to your doctor for the best advice.

Explanation

Some people taking Ozempic, a medicine used for diabetes and weight loss, have reported that their vision gets blurry. Research has shown that these changes, like blurred vision or dark spots (called central scotomas), can be reversible. This means that your vision might go back to normal once your body adjusts or if you stop the medication. However, every person is different, and not everyone will have the same experience. If you notice blurry vision while taking Ozempic, you should not stop the medicine on your own. Instead, visit your doctor or eye care provider. Sometimes, a change in dose or a switch to another treatment may help. Regular eye check-ups and discussing any changes in your vision with your healthcare provider are very important to keep your eyes healthy.
