A recent study reveals that weight-loss drugs, commonly used for diabetes, might significantly increase the risk of eye damage in diabetic patients.
Specifically, these medications could double the chance of developing age-related macular degeneration, a serious eye condition affecting vision.
Older diabetic patients or those with a history of stroke appear to be at an even higher risk from this potential side effect.
Doctors should exercise caution when prescribing these drugs, especially to patients in these higher-risk categories.
