Reversible bilateral central scotoma under scotopic conditions associated with oral semaglutide
Introduction: Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist that treats type 2 diabetes mellitus and can be used as an adjunct for weight loss when combined with exercise and diet. Here we report a case of a bilateral, incongruent central visual scotoma under scotopic conditions in a board-certified ophthalmologist associated with semaglutide use that resolved quickly following medication discontinuation. Case report: A 72-year-old male ophthalmologist (JAD) started 3.0 mg daily oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) to help with weight loss and seventeen days after treatment initiation developed a small, round central scotoma in his right eye that enlarged over several days. After two days a similar but smaller scotoma developed in his left eye. These symptoms were present only under scotopic conditions and were not visible in daylight or artificially lit conditions. When symptoms developed in the left eye, the medication was discontinued, and all symptoms completely resolv ed two days later. A subsequent clinical evaluation revealed no abnormalities on macular optical coherence tomography, fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence or Humphrey visual field. Conclusions: This case of a bilateral central scotoma under scotopic conditions that resolved after medication discontinuation expands the knowledge of potential side effects from this increasingly popular diabetic and weight loss medication. © 2024
