About The Study: In this cohort study, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) use was associated with reduced risk of developing nonexudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) but was not associated with progression to exudative AMD among individuals with nonexudative AMD. These findings may inform future randomized trials evaluating the ocular effects of GLP-1RAs in nondiabetic populations.
