Does anyone have experience or knowledge of the effects of GLP-1 drugs on MC? I started taking Zepbound a few months ago for weight loss, sleep apnea, and general health benefits. A friend recently reported that her Optometrist, a D.O., warned her about possible ocular side effects. In my limited research, I found a Canadian study that followed 139,000 people , all diabetic, taking Ozempic in higher doses over prolonged periods, and among those with AMD, the incidents of dry AMD turning wet doubled from 1 out of 1000 to 2 out of 1000. Although I am not diabetic, have only been on the minimum dose of Zepbound for a few months, and am within 5 - 10 lbs. of reaching my goal, I have stopped taking Zepbound until I see my retina specialist in two weeks. My fear is that I am already within the 20 % minority of people whose dry AMD has turned wet, I am genetically predisposed since MC upended my mother's life overnight at the age of 61, after enjoying 20/20 vision tup to that point. I am 74 and my AMD has progressed much more slowly. Drusen was spotted at least 10 years ago, at which time I began AREDS 2. I was diagnosed with AMD seven years ago at age 67. My right eye, in which I've always had 20/800 vision became wet five years ago. Since then, I've been followed by a retina specialist every three months and have needed injections about 50% of the time. Unfortunately, my left eye, which I depend on exclusively, turned wet within 3 months of starting Zepbound, for which I've been started on a three month protocol of monthly injections. The second injection showed improvement; I will get the third in two weeks. The leakage has not effected my central vision, although it is close. The timing of Zepbound might be just a coincidence to a condition that was already in progress, but I can't afford to jeopardize vision in my one good eye. I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you!
