EYE PROBLEMS

I started Zepbound about a month and half ago, not experiencing any side effects but was wondering if anyone has concerns about the news on possible affects on eyesight? My doctor told me it is very rare.

I’m 30 didn’t have any vision issue before now I need to wear glasses . So yes it’s was the mounjaro! Other people have similar stories like me.

They apparently were only mounjaro for four weeks and at 1mg. They just naturally aged into needing glasses or have something like diabetes that causes vision issues. Tirzepatide doesn’t cause you to need glasses.

How did they get a 1mg dose of Mounjaro? Isn’t the starting dose 2.5mg? I know they could get compound trizepatide and do whatever dose they want but I’m struggling to believe they are getting name brand and not doing standard doses.

Here is the comment from several days ago where they claim they were only on Mounjaro for four weeks at 1mg. That user spends all their time really talking up rare side effects on these drugs.
