Core Tip	Anti-obesity medicines are being used more than ever, especially glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and newer incretin-based therapies. Along with clear metabolic benefits, emerging reports suggest potential eye-related complications such as non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, early worsening of diabetic retinopathy, acute angle closure from uveal effusion, and vitamin A-related visual dysfunction. These risks appear biologically plausible through vascular, metabolic, and neuro-ophthalmic pathways, particularly during rapid weight loss or quick glycaemic change. Clinicians should stratify risk, counsel patients on warning symptoms, and ensure timely ophthalmic evaluation.
