Non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is an eye condition that may restrict blood flow to the optic nerve. This results in painless, sudden-onset vision loss in one eye.

Review of the literature has indicated multiple cases of MOG antibody-associated optic neuritis misdiagnosed as NAION. Positive serum MOG antibodies increase the likelihood of optic neuritis.

June 6 (Reuters) - Novo Nordisk's (NOVOb.CO) popular weight-loss and diabetes drugs Wegovy and Ozempic may in very rare cases cause a serious eye condition that can lead to vision loss, the European ...

The optic nerve carries visual information from the eye to the brain. Optic neuritis is when your optic nerve becomes inflamed, causing vision loss. Learn more.

Two large studies from the University of Southern Denmark suggest that the diabetes medication Ozempic doubles the risk of developing NAION, a rare but serious condition that damages the optic ...

Seven patients experienced NAION-like symptoms; one had papillitis, an inflammation of the optic nerve head; and one developed paracentral acute middle maculopathy, which can cause a blind spot in ...

For individuals with type 2 diabetes, semaglutide is tied to a modestly increased risk for nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

Use of once-weekly semaglutide more than doubles the risk for nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in individuals with diabetes.
