RadarOnline reports that celebrities are terrified they might go blind from using Ozempic—because apparently, nothing says “Hollywood” like risking your eyesight just to fit into a size zero.  Doctors say the drug has been linked to vision loss, which means some stars might finally have an excuse for their terrible movie choices.
