Health regulators have identified a very rare link between Wegovy and a condition called NAION, affecting around 1 in 10,000 people. It occurs when reduced blood flow to the optic nerve, (the nerve that connects your eye to your brain), causes sudden changes in vision. This usually affects one eye and is not painful. Symptoms can include blurred, cloudy or dimmed vision that comes on quickly. If you notice any of these changes, please seek medical advice promptly. You can contact your GP, call NHS 111 or attend urgent care.
