Theoretically, the two compounds target completely different receptor systems (amylin receptors for cagrilintide, GLP-1/GIP/glucagon for retatrutide), which suggests they could work synergistically without receptor overlap
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules, influencing processes like hormone regulation, immune modulation, tissue repair, metabolism, and cognitive function

Electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched from inception until August 2025 using keywords such as GLP-1 receptor agonist, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, ocular disease, and neuroprotection. The search focused on identifying preclinical studies, large-scale retrospective cohort studies, and post-hoc analyses of major clinical trials that evaluated the utility and potential mechanisms of GLP-1RAs in ophthalmic diseases
