Which medication is included in the glaucoma-related weight-management list?

• A. Orlistat
• B. Metformin
• C. Liraglutide
• D. Lorcaserin

Answer: (C)

Weight management is often part of a broader approach to glaucoma care because reducing obesity and metabolic risk factors can improve overall vascular health that supports eye perfusion. Among these medications, liraglutide stands out as an established anti-obesity drug with proven weight-loss efficacy and approved use for chronic weight management in adults. It works as a GLP-1 receptor agonist, suppressing appetite and helping people reduce caloric intake, which translates into meaningful and sustained weight loss. That reliability and evidence base make it the medication included on glaucoma-related weight-management lists. The other options are either not primarily used for obesity, have more limited weight-loss data, or carry safety concerns that limit their use in this specific context.
