If you are in your forties or older, you’re most likely familiar with the challenge of blurry vision and the hassle of keeping up with your reading glasses. You may have trouble seeing things up close, need to hold books or your phone at arm’s length if you don’t have your reading glasses on, get headaches, and have tired, sore eyes.
Presbyopia is the medical term for your eyes losing the ability to see up-close objects, and it happens to everyone as we age. The lenses in our eyes get less flexible, making it harder for them to focus light directly onto the retina (the light-sensitive layer in the back of the eye), and this causes blurry vision and other irritating issues.
Up until recently, treatment for presbyopia has included reading glasses, eyeglasses with special lenses, contact lenses, and surgery; however, now there is a new way to treat presbyopia. Imagine how nice it would be to go out to dinner with friends and not have to wear reading glasses to see the menu! Introducing the newest treatment for presbyopia: Vuity prescription eyedrops.
What is Vuity?
Vuity is a daily eyedrop solution that can be prescribed to treat presbyopia symptoms in adults. It is the first and only FDA-approved eyedrop to help with presbyopia. Vuity eye drops currently come in a 1.25 percent solution. It works by reducing the size of your pupils and by contracting muscles in your eyes to help you see up close clearly.
Can Vuity Eyedrops Replace My Reading Glasses?
Vuity eyedrops are applied daily, one drop per eye. The drops start working in around 15 minutes and the effects last for around 6 hours or so.
If you are between the ages of 40–59, you may find that Vuity eyedrops will help you ditch the reading glasses for those dinners out with friends or fun weekend plans. During your eye exam, our eye doctors in Chicago can determine whether Vuity eyedrops are right for you based on your eye health history and vision needs.
