National Law Firm Accepting Cases for Victims Suffering from NAION (Eye Stroke) After Using Popular GLP-1 Medications

Port Washington, NY – March 10, 2025 – Parker Waichman LLP, a nationally recognized law firm dedicated to representing victims of defective drugs, is actively investigating claims involving vision loss, blindness, and non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) linked to the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, semaglutide. The firm is urging individuals who have suffered serious eye injuries after taking these widely prescribed GLP-1 receptor agonist medications to contact Parker Waichman LLP for a free case review.

These medications, originally developed to treat Type 2 diabetes, have surged in popularity for weight loss. However, recent studies have uncovered a disturbing link between semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) and NAION, a condition that causes permanent vision loss by cutting off blood flow to the optic nerve. Patients who took these drugs have reported sudden blindness, optic nerve damage, and other irreversible complications, raising concerns about the failure of drug manufacturers to warn consumers and medical professionals about these risks.

A 2025 study published in JAMA Ophthalmology examined nine patients who developed optic nerve disorders after using GLP-1 medications, with the majority suffering from NAION-like symptoms. Additional research from Harvard’s Mass Eye and Ear Institute found that diabetic users of semaglutide were four times more likely to develop NAION, while non-diabetic users taking the drug for weight loss faced a sevenfold increased risk.

Despite growing scientific evidence, Novo Nordisk continues to downplay the dangers associated with these medications, failing to include adequate warnings about the risk of permanent blindness.

Parker Waichman LLP Fighting for Victims Nationwide

“NAION is a devastating, permanent eye injury. Studies from multiple, reputable institutions, have shown a statistically significant relationship between semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic) and NAION.  Despite this evidence, Novo Nordisk continues to deny reality by failing to warn consumers and medical professionals about this horrific injury and must be held accountable.” said Jason S. Goldstein, Senior Litigation Counsel at Parker Waichman LLP.

Parker Waichman LLP is currently accepting cases nationwide for individuals who have suffered vision loss, blindness, or serious optic nerve damage after taking Ozempic or Wegovy. Victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
