In cardiovascular outcome trials of semaglutide in type 2 diabetes, rapid improvements in glycemic control were associated with an increased rate of diabetic retinopathy complications in high-risk patients, likely reflecting the well-known phenomenon of transient retinopathy worsening when glucose control improves quickly.9 More recently, observational analyses and pharmacovigilance reports have raised a possible association between semaglutide exposure and nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), leading to ongoing regulatory review
