A grandma of 11 and a New Jersey man have joined the growing chorus of users of the wildly popular weight loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy who say they didn’t just lose fat — they also lost their eyesight. New local lawsuits filed by the pair allege the manufacturer hid the “devastating” risk, which left them with a permanent, life-changing loss of vision in both eyes. “It pains me to think I won’t be able to fully see my grandchildren’s faces and fully experience the biggest moments of my loved ones’ lives,’’ said plaintiff Cilette Mitchell, a 64-year-old grandmother and former vice president at a large commercial bank in California, to The Post.
