Ditch your glasses - breakthrough eye drops approved by FDA to fix your near vision instantly

In a major medical breakthrough, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Vizz, a once daily eye drop that helps improve near vision without the need for reading glasses. Created by Lenz Therapeutics, Vizz is the first eye drop to use aceclidine, a compound that temporarily reduces pupil size to sharpen close up focus.

The eye drop works by creating a mild "pinhole effect" that extends the eye’s depth of focus, improving the ability to see things up close. Vizz is fast acting, with noticeable improvement in vision within 30 minutes, and the benefits can last for up to 10 hours with just one drop a day.

Strong clinical results with minimal side effects

Vizz was approved after being tested in three major Phase 3 trials CLARITY 1, 2, and 3. These studies involved hundreds of participants over several weeks and months. Results showed that a majority of users gained a three-line improvement in near vision on a standard eye chart, a strong indicator of effectiveness.

Even more reassuring, the safety profile was excellent. No serious side effects were reported. A small number of users experienced mild symptoms like eye irritation, headache, or dim vision, but these effects were temporary and resolved without treatment. Importantly, Vizz did not negatively affect distance vision, making it practical for everyday use.

A modern alternative for aging eyes

Vizz could be a game changer for the estimated 128 million Americans living with presbyopia. Rather than relying on glasses or surgical options, patients now have access to a non-invasive, convenient treatment they can use daily. The drops are expected to be available in the U.S. by late 2025, starting with sample distributions in doctors’ offices.

This approval marks a turning point in eye care innovation. With its fast results, strong safety data, and ease of use, Vizz offers new hope to people who want to regain near vision clarity and reduce their dependence on corrective lenses.

FAQs:

Q1. What is presbyopia?
A1. Presbyopia is a common condition where the eye’s lens loses flexibility, making it hard to focus on close-up objects. It typically starts after the age of 40.

Q2. Why does near vision get worse with age?
A2. As we age, the lens inside the eye becomes less flexible. This makes it harder for the eye to adjust and focus on close objects.
