👁️ Oxidative stress is a major factor in vision loss, but healthy lifestyle choices—like regular exercise, a Mediterranean diet, and avoiding smoking—can lower risk by up to 30%. 🌿

Antioxidants such as vitamins C, E, A, zinc, magnesium, and nicotinamide (B3) support optic nerve health and reduce oxidative damage.

As a doctor, I’ve seen how stress and exhaustion affect not just your body, but your vision. Gratitude is more than a mindset — it’s medicine. When we practice thankfulness, stress hormones drop, circulation improves, and inflammation decreases.

That means healthier eyes, sharper focus, and stronger overall wellness. Gratitude restores balance, clarity, and resilience — and it’s one of the simplest tools we can use to protect our health.

👉 Watch now to learn how gratitude can transform both your eyesight and your leadership.

👁️ Do GLP-1 Medicines Affect Your Eyes?

GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are powerful tools for managing diabetes and weight—but they may also impact your vision. Some patients report blurred vision, eye strain, or worsening diabetic retinopathy, especially during the first few weeks of treatment. These effects are often linked to rapid shifts in blood sugar, which can stress the retina and optic nerve. If you're using GLP-1 meds, regular eye checkups are essential—especially if you have pre-existing eye conditions. Support your vision with nutrient-rich foods like spinach, oranges, salmon, and blueberries.

👁️ Can Ozempic Affect Your Eyes?

Ozempic (semaglutide) helps manage Type 2 diabetes and weight, but it may impact your vision. Some users report blurred vision or worsening diabetic retinopathy, especially during early treatment. These effects are often linked to rapid blood sugar changes that stress the retina and optic nerve. If you're on Ozempic, regular eye exams are essential—especially if you have existing eye conditions. Pair your treatment with eye-friendly foods like spinach, oranges, salmon, and blueberries to support long-term vision health.
