The U. S. Food and Drug Administration announced on November 9 that manufacturers of GLP-1 medications must add a label warning about non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, a rare eye condition often described as an “eye stroke.

” The agency said the warning addresses a small but possible increased risk of sudden, permanent vision loss. Earlier reports from NBC News, Ars Technica and Global News conveyed the same requirement, noting that the condition can cause irreversible blindness and that the label change applies to all GLP-1 drugs on the market.
