🚨 Have you or a loved one lost vision after taking Ozempic or Wegovy?
You’re not alone — and there may be help.

Some patients using these medications have reported sudden vision loss due to a rare condition called NAION (non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy). It's painless… but can be permanent.

At Low Vision Specialists of Maryland & Virginia, we specialize in helping patients who’ve been told there’s nothing more that can be done.
🔍 Our custom-designed low vision glasses are made with advanced optics like:
✔️ Telescopic lenses
✔️ Microscopic lenses
✔️ NeuroVision field-enhancing lenses
✔️ Glare-reducing filters

Over 90% of our patients see meaningful improvement in daily function — even after being told by other doctors there were “no more options.”

✨ There is hope.
