For individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D), semaglutide is associated with a modestly increased risk for nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).

Semaglutide was tied to nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) risk vs. nonuse in adults with type 2 diabetes. New semaglutide users did not have higher NAION risk vs. most other ...
