Ozempic Lawsuits
Call Our Ozempic Vision Loss Lawsuit Attorneys
If you used Ozempic or Wegovy and later lost vision in one or both eyes, Novo Nordisk (the manufacturer of Ozempic and Wegovy) may be responsible for what you have been through. Both medications contain semaglutide, and researchers have linked semaglutide to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), an optic nerve injury that can cause sudden, permanent vision loss. Lawsuits allege that Novo Nordisk did not adequately warn patients and doctors about this risk.
Our Ozempic lawyers at Denver Trial Lawyers® are reviewing these cases now. If you received a NAION diagnosis, or you lost vision (including partial vision loss) after taking Ozempic or Wegovy, we want to hear from you. We will listen to your story, review what happened, and explain your legal options, which could include filing a dangerous drug lawsuit. If you are unsure whether the medication played a role, call us, and we will look at your situation together.
You may be eligible to file an Ozempic or Wegovy lawsuit if:
- You used Ozempic or Wegovy.
- You were diagnosed with NAION, or you lost vision in one or both eyes after using either medication.
Call us at (303) 647-9990 or request a free consultation online to speak with our team.

What Is NAION?
NAION develops when the front of the optic nerve loses its blood supply, and it can reduce vision in one or both eyes. The optic nerve carries visual signals from your eye to your brain, so damage to it changes what you see. People often describe sudden blurring, or a dark or missing area in their vision, usually in one eye. Some first notice it when they wake up, but others may experience symptoms gradually or spontaneously. Researchers describe the damage as irreversible in most cases.
If you notice sudden changes in your vision, see an eye doctor right away. Talk with your doctor before you stop or change any medication.
Research Links Semaglutide and NAION
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in both Wegovy and Ozempic, and several studies have examined whether it raises the risk of NAION.
Three important studies that stand out are:
- A 2024 study in JAMA Ophthalmology found a higher rate of NAION among patients prescribed semaglutide than among patients prescribed other, non-GLP-1 medications.
- A Danish study of 424,152 people with type 2 diabetes found that those taking once-weekly semaglutide had more than twice the risk of NAION over five years.
- A 2026 JAMA Ophthalmology study of U.S. veterans with type 2 diabetes found that people who started semaglutide had a 2.33-fold higher risk than people who started SGLT2 inhibitors, another diabetes medication.

"Stephen Wahlberg went above and beyond in their empathetic approach."
Stephen Wahlberg recently helped my family and me in a wrongful death case, which we filed on behalf of my mother. I’ll never forget the day of - it was surreal. Having been through these situations many times before in his career, Steve came to our side and had his staff on the scene immediately. He was highly recommended by trusted friends, and his presence offered a breath of fresh air. It was a relief in many ways, to know that he would "take care of it.” I highly recommend him to anyone who may be considering his services. I am grateful we were gifted with an incredible human being AND brilliant/talented/experienced/well-connected lawyer to support us through the legal process. Thanks again, Steve and team!
