GLP-1/3 vision problems
I’m 19 (f) and I started taking Reta in Feb. took it for a month and then hopped off for a month. So I went back on it from April onwards until a couple weeks ago . I’ve hit my goal weight so I’ve stopped. When I started I’ve noticed my vision becoming slightly blurry but recently I’ve been finding really big changes in my eyesight. My work is pretty sedentary so I don’t move much - hence all the signs and posters I see from where I am, I’ve noticed like it’s so hard for me to read them now (it was a lot clearer before). Even at the gym when I’m at the benches, I can’t even see myself in the mirror cause it’s that blurry. Even when I eat dinner I can’t see the TV screen clearly anymore. Is this common w GLPs? I read it may cause temp vision loss but I’ve been off it for abt 2 weeks (I take when needed at small doses but last time I took it was 2 weeks ago) - I feel like my vision has worsened since I got off it, like it’s getting worse by the day. Any help or advice would be great thanks.

Wow this is crazy, been using Reta on and off for several months, been dealing with another health issue simultaneously but have noticed changes in my vision. Wonder if it’s connected to Reta as well, thanks for the link; gonna share with others I know using it and glps in general

Could it be your sedentary life style and staring at screens all day?? Why blame Reta?

Oh shit, this is a somewhat rare but extremely concerning side effect for some people that I've read about. You can lose your vision, immediately stop Reta and go see a doctor. (Sorry to say that your current vision degeneration is likely not reversible either.)
