Ozempic became a headline again with the TGA placing a warning label on GLP-1 RAs for the potential risk of NAION, an eye condition that can cause permanent vision loss. Thank you to @news.abc.net.au for asking me to comment on this issue again. What you need to know: www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

Rare eye disorder linked to Ozempic-like medications
The Therapeutic Goods Administration has issued a safety warning for a rare, but serious risk of vision impairment from taking GLP-1-based drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy.

Agreed! I think it’ll be highly unlikely they get NAION, but they will be able to look at the incidence/severity of diabetic retinopathy between groups

Indeed! Issues with coding on medical records also makes things extra vague. An RCT is in the works, it’ll be interesting to see what they find.

💉👀 Ozempic. What does the eye have to do with it? Let’s take a look at the latest evidence published in @jamanetworkopen.com Thank you to @aunz.theconversation.com for inviting me to write this piece. Was a pleasure to write with @petetheteapot.bsky.social from @ki.se

Jasper had so much fun at the beach today that he was too tired to do anything else but lie down and chew sticks or sleep for the rest of the day 😂

How to tell if your failure is intelligent? This is a great infographic and is based on the book by @amycedmondson.bsky.social “The Right Kind of Wrong” (which is a great read/audiobook btw!) 📚

How do you diagnose a #failure? Start by looking at the cause & context in which the failure occurs If your failure took place in a novel context and stemmed from well-researched experimentation, it's likely an #IntelligentFailure! Grab a copy of my 📕 #RightKindOfWrong for more.. bit.ly/RKWBook

Very cool 😊 human lenses also grow in layers throughout life, cells grow from the back of the lens and lose their cellular contents… but I don’t think we’ve ever looked at them for foraging ecology though 😉 interesting paper!
