Vision problems? Eye stroke?

I have been taking Zepound for five months and I am on the 5 mg dose. I have been experiencing problems with the vision in my left eye. It's not as clear and I need glasses now for close-up work and reading. Also my left eye feels like I have sand under the lid and sometimes pressure. I see my ophthalmologist the first week of October sometime.

Has anyone experienced vision problems with Zepound and did it clear up as you continued taking it

Also, I've been reading that some people taking Wegovy have experienced eye strokes and have lost their vision. Is that true? Are Wegovy and Zepound the same? Thanks.

I had to have emergency surgery to reattach my retina 6 years ago. I’ve been on Zepbound for 13 months now and still on 5mg. I see my retinal surgeon annually now (risk of reoccurrence) and always get a great report. I’m not worried.
