Key Points
Question What are some of the ophthalmic complications that have been observed in patients using the drugs semaglutide or tirzepatide?
Findings In this case series of 9 patients, 7 patients are described with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, 1 patient is described with papillitis. and 1 patient is described with paracentral acute middle maculopathy. All patients were using either semaglutide or tirzepatide.
Meaning Although a causal link between these drugs and observed complications cannot be established, these findings cannot rule out the possibility that rapid correction of hyperglycemia may be associated with the results reported.
Abstract
Importance Nearly 2% of the US population received a prescription for semaglutide in 2023. There has been a recent concern that this drug and other similar medications may be associated with ophthalmic complications.
Objective To report ophthalmic complications associated with the use of semaglutide or tirzepatide.
Design, Setting, and Participants This was a retrospective case series. All patients were initially seen in a community setting. Patients experiencing an ophthalmic complication in association with the use of semaglutide or tirzepatide were included in this analysis.
Exposures Patients described were using either semaglutide or tirzepatide.
Main Outcomes and Measures Visual acuity and visual field defects.
Results A total of 9 patients (mean [SD] age, 57.4 [11.6] years; age range, 37-77 years; 5 female [56%]; 4 male [44%]) were included in this study. Seven patients with nonarteritic ischemic anterior optic neuropathy, 1 patient with bilateral papillitis, and 1 patient with paracentral acute middle maculopathy were reported. Atypical features included sequential ischemic optic neuropathy, bilateral disc swelling at presentation, and progressive vision loss.
Conclusions and Relevance In this case series study, it was not possible to determine if there is a causal link between these drugs and the ophthalmic complications reported. In some cases, it is hypothesized that rapid correction of hyperglycemia induced by these drugs, rather than a toxic effect of the drugs, could be associated with the ophthalmic complications reported.
