Anyone had any eye issues on MJ ?

I recently have been having pain in eyeballs, due for eye test so putting it down to eye strain and lots of screen time at work.
Anyone else experienced anything like this ?

Get to the opticians there are some serious ophthalmology side effects to mounjaro.
Make sure you tell the optician you are on it.
and no more injections until clear.

may be unrelated but better safe than sorry

@UncharteredWaters Can you post any links or other info on eye problems related to MJ. I’d be very interested to know, thanks.

When on Ozempic the only side effect I was warned about by the nurse was potential blindness, and there have been reports of it happening, it is very rare but no consolation if you are the one it happens to. Get checked urgently.

I had my pain in my eyeballs when I started, it was really bad! I went to the optician and all was fine. She did diagnose dry eye disease and gave me drops to use several times a day as well encouraging me to use a warm compress on them during the day. It did sort its self out. I've been on it 9 months now and I'm on maintenance and I get it every so often but nothing like I did in the first few weeks on it.

I went up to 5ng last week and am experiencing some issues with my focus. I wear glasses and it feels like they've become the wrong shape. If I push them hard against my nose from the side then it's better, like the shape of my eye has changed. I'll go to the opticians next week if it doesn't improve. I did some reading and changes in blood sugar which MJ affects can also affect the eye in various ways

I am a few pounds away from my target weight so been considering stopping mj anyway.Although I still have around 10 pounds to be in healthy BMI but other than wishing to lose around 4 lbs happy with myself now and size. I am quite active and have worked out tdee and tracking so hoping to lose last few myself. I am late 50’s and don’t want to lose more on my face I have gotten away with not getting saggy face as been exercising and still eating properly, but think losing 10 pounds might push it and BMI bit of flawed measure anyway. I have not taken mj again since last Friday awaiting this check up.
Have lost 2.5 stone and can honestly say it has been wonderful, have my confidence back, feeling healthy and active. Just very conscious about regaining so going to try and start tracking daily. I have one remaining WLI in the fridge as a fall back incase struggled and needed to do maintenance. Hoping I can do it alone. Determined to but sometimes like most people when life gets tricky used to be emotional eater. Rarely do that know just feel I have to be strong, keep being active, make good choices most of the time but also have treats now and then in moderation.
Will keep you posted re appointment
thanks for comments

Went to Optician he said no issues with my vision which knew wasn’t and don’t need stronger contacts just yet.
He did say I have arcus senelis which can signify raised cholesterol but he said could just be in my family if cholesterol not raised was really shocked as never had high cholesterol and eating best I ever have and the most active ever been.
I asked about eye aches and the arcus senelis and MJ but he just said could be and he seemed completely reluctant to comment and just would not discuss it really weird.
have noticed eye aches after work when been on screen everyday so thinking it that and think MJ out of system now as appetite back ! Optician was so casual in his attitude towards MJ so not thinking related.

Raised cholesterol is very common when you loose lots of weight, apparently it will go back down again once your body adjusts to the new weight.
I don’t know the science/facts but seen it mentioned a lot.

Sometimes I have blurry vision for a few minutes about half an hour after jabbing. I can see clearly though one eye at a time,so it seems to be a brain problem coordinating eyes, rather than eye problem
