Blurred Vision & GLP-1 Medications: Causes, Risks, and Management

Why does everything suddenly look fuzzy—like you’re seeing life through a dirty window? If you’ve just started taking a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound and you’re noticing blurred vision, you’re not imagining things. You’re also not alone—and no, you’re not going blind. This is actually one of the more common (and often temporary) side effects people experience when starting these meds.

I’m breaking down exactly why your eyesight might feel off. Is your blood sugar fluctuating too fast? Is dehydration messing with your eyes? Could lower blood pressure be the sneaky culprit? Or is it something deeper, like diabetic retinopathy flaring up when your glucose levels change too quickly?

I cover all the main reasons your vision might feel like it’s buffering and explain which ones are harmless, which ones are worth watching, and which ones mean you should call your doctor. More importantly, I’ll give you practical tips on how to manage it—like how to stay hydrated, stabilize your blood sugar, and know when to get your eyes checked.

Thanks for watching and always remember: small tweaks lead to massive peaks!
