Why am I experiencing blurry vision on Mounjaro?
Blurry vision on Mounjaro is most commonly caused by fluctuations in your blood sugar levels, which can temporarily change the shape of the lens in your eye. This type of blurred vision typically resolves once your blood sugar stabilises. In rare cases, some patients taking Mounjaro have experienced sudden vision loss due to a condition called NAION (non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy), though this is uncommon.
Key points:
- Temporary blurred vision is usually linked to blood sugar changes affecting your eye lens
- Vision problems often improve as your body adjusts to the medication
- Sudden or severe vision loss requires immediate medical attention to rule out serious complications
- Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can also cause temporary vision changes
