Interesting synchronicity of seeing this article. I just had an optometrist appointment this morning and my glasses prescription updated/renewed. The only medication I am on is Ozempic for weight management, ~8 months, lost ~40 lbs so far. My old prescription was -1.75 / -1.0 (about 5 years ago), and my new one is -0.5, -0.5. My optometrist said it was unusual but likely due to having blood glucose under control as it changes the blood pressure and shape of your eyes slightly.

How old are you? I'm almost 50 and in the last year my long distance vision has improved however I need stronger reading glasses and find it tricky to do closeup work. I was on mounjaro between Feb and Sep this year.
Isn't that an improvement, in your case?
Sounds like three or four to me.
