Dublin man went blind in one eye after using weight-loss jabs

Specialists at the hospital’s Department of Ophthalmology linked the vision loss to semaglutide, which is the active ingredient in weight-loss jabs including Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. They immediately stopped the injections.

Doctors have issued an urgent warning in relation to weight-loss jabs after a man in Dublin went blind in one eye after using the popular injectable medication.

The 50-year-old obese male attended the Mater Hospital after suddenly losing sight in his right eye. He had been taking weight-loss jabs once a week for two years.
