Your study you linked compares the diabetic population taking GLP-1s against a healthy population. Of course they're going to find more eye problems in the diabetic population, diabetes damages the eye.
Correlation does not imply causation. Especially this one.
- baby-yoda 2y agoFrom the article: "The researchers compared patients who had received prescriptions for semaglutide compared to those taking other diabetes or weight loss drugs. Then, they analyzed the rate of NAION diagnoses in the groups, which revealed the significant risk increases." I don't interpret it at all as you do - if they're taking "other diabetes or weight loss drugs" they're clearly not part of the "healthy population".
