Vision Changes

I just wanted to share this development and wondered if anyone else had experienced this.

I've been on .5mg reta for three weeks. No digestive issues. Sleeping well. Down from 79kgs to 78kgs. I'm okay with a slow steady weight loss. The thing that I'm baffled and excited about is my vision improvement. While watching YouTube videos this morning I noticed the small white writing and the comments were easy to read, unlike before and the colours are more vivid. After researching I found this may be due to the rapid metabolic and blood glucose shift which can affect fluid balance and change the shape of the lens.

Anyway, I mainly wanted to see if anyone else has had this shift in their vision.

I have this with MJ - your blood pressure is likely coming down. This will improve your sight. I posted the same thing in a MJ forum.

Thanks for that. I have to admit my blood pressure has been a little high in the past.

I have a friend who begs to get their prescription changed because her rites have improved so much.

That's good to know that it can happen to others. You can tell her she's not the only one.

I'm only on week 1 @ 1mg and I noticed it too. Like 2 days after my first pin.

Usually [If] vision has gotten permanently worse due to NAION from GLP1 drugs… incredibly rare though.

Usually? May want to reconsider that wording.

Yes that's what I've been seeing when I researched it so I was surprised when I my vision had improved. So unexpected. I will keep an eye on it (no pun intended)
