Robbie Williams fears weight loss jabs are ‘making him blind’ and admits his vision is deteriorating as he warns fans of the worrying side effects

by

Robbie Williams is worried about a recent and quick decline in his eyesight and thinks the weight-loss drug Mounjaro might be the cause.

As someone who’s always paying attention to how we maintain our best selves, I’ve been hearing from a popular singer – he’s 51 – that his vision has been getting progressively worse lately. He’s actually shared that it’s starting to impact his performances on stage, which is something he’s been open about.

He has even struggled to see fans’ faces during emotional moments in his live shows.

The former Take That singer is now speaking out to warn people about potential side effects and is urging them to do thorough research before getting similar injections.

Robbie told The Sun he first realized something was wrong at an American football game when he couldn’t clearly see the players, explaining they appeared as blurry figures instead of individuals.

I was so relieved to hear he finally went to the eye doctor! He needed new glasses, which is great, though it took him a little while to realize it might have been connected to those injections he’d been getting. It just didn’t click right away, but thankfully he’s getting the help he needs now.

Okay, so he finally said it! He admitted he was one of the first to get the vaccines, which, amazing, honestly. But then… he mentioned his vision is failing. It’s like, I’ve been saying it all along – there’s a connection! I knew it! He’s noticing things aren’t quite right, and it’s terrifying and validating all at the same time. I’m just… I’m so glad he finally acknowledged it, even if it’s just a little thing about his eyesight.

Lately, my vision has been getting increasingly fuzzy, and honestly, it’s a bit concerning. I’ve really been thinking about the cause, and while it’s easy to assume it’s just getting older, I strongly suspect it’s related to the COVID-19 vaccines I received. It’s definitely something I’m keeping a close eye on, and encouraging others to pay attention to their own health too.

On tour, the problem has become even more obvious. 

Robbie, known for singing to one fan during his song “She’s The One,” revealed he can hardly see that person while he’s performing – a fact the audience doesn’t realize.

He explained that he was watching these women looking up at him, clearly having an amazing time. The irony was, he couldn’t see them at all.

Even with some worries about the vaccine, the former Take That singer has shared how it’s helped his long-term mental health. He says getting the jab brought a significant and positive change, relieving him of constant emotional distress.

He’s also made big changes to his daily routine, adding workouts, stretching, and strength training.

Robbie’s remarks come after a recent US study suggested a possible connection between medications containing Semaglutide and a rare eye condition that could cause vision loss.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following the recent discussions around potential vision issues, and it’s something I think we all need to be aware of. While experts are still debating just how serious the risk is, there have been hundreds of reported cases in the UK of people experiencing problems with their vision. It’s definitely a topic worth keeping on your radar.

Let me tell you, I’ve worked with so many people on their wellness journeys, and it’s amazing what can happen with a little support. Robbie shared with me that he successfully lost over a stone – he went from 13 stone 13 pounds down to 12 stone 1 pound – and he found an appetite suppressant really helped him along the way.

The singer, once nicknamed ‘Blobby Williams,’ explained that he can be very self-critical when he’s not at his ideal weight.

Mounjaro, along with similar medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, is a drug originally designed for diabetes and weight management in adults, but it’s become highly sought after as a quick weight loss solution, even by people with only a small amount of weight to lose.

These medications work like a natural hormone in the brain called GLP-1, which controls hunger and helps you feel full.

Two years ago, Robbie shared that he’d lost around two stone, and credited a medication similar to Ozempic for helping him achieve that weight loss.

He playfully revealed back then that he’d lost weight – dropping from 13 stone 13 pounds to 12 stone 1 pound – thanks to using an appetite suppressant.

He recently told The Times, ‘I’ve been using a weight loss drug – something similar to Ozempic. It’s been amazing, like a Christmas miracle! I’ve lost over a stone, going from 13 stone 13 pounds to 12 stone 1 pound.’

‘And I need it, medically. I’ve been diagnosed with type 2 self-loathing.

Being overweight is incredibly damaging to my mental well-being. I’m really harsh with myself, and my inner critic is as unkind as Katie Hopkins’ comments about people who are larger. It’s incredibly frustrating and upsetting.
