About The Study: In this cohort study, the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) among patients with diabetes was associated with a 2-fold higher risk of incident neovascular age-related macular degeneration development than among similar patients with diabetes who did not receive a GLP-1 RA. Further research is needed to elucidate the exact pathophysiological mechanisms involved and to understand the trade-offs between the benefits and risks of GLP-1 RAs.
