This eye drop is a dream come true for people with reading glasses

With the increase in age, one may start to feel trouble with reading. This condition is known as presbyopia, which usually develops after the age of 40. During this stage, you'll have difficulty focusing at a reading distance and eventually require reading glasses.

What is the good news?

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) of the United States has approved a new form of eye drop, which they say could eliminate the need for reading glasses. This is fantastic news for people who have vision problems and are hooked on reading. To help with age-related near eyesight, the government agency has approved the eye drop "Vuity." You can use the eye drop solution called Vuity to improve your eyesight throughout the day and stop carrying around reading glasses. The drop works best in people between the ages of 40 and 55 who have trouble seeing well enough to complete daily tasks like reading on a phone or computer screen.

How does it work?

It is advised to put one drop into each eye once a day. After application, the drops ‌operate within 15 minutes, and their benefits persist for roughly six hours.

Vuity is a formulation of the popular medication pilocarpine. Vuity was developed by scientists to enable the eye drop to quickly adapt to the pH of the tear film. The eye's natural capacity to constrict its pupils allows the eye to enhance near vision while preserving distance vision, which is what the drop achieves.

Can we use it?

People with mild to moderate presbyopia can receive these drops. Unfortunately, the eye drops are less effective around age 65, as a result of continued aging. Vuity eye drops come with a 30-day prescription and cost around 6,300 rupees.

It is significant to remember that using the drops while driving at night or performing other activities in poor light is not advised. Follow the appropriate dosage while using it because, in patients who are nearsighted, larger dosages raise the risk of retinal detachments.

Is this a cure?

Vuity is by no means a cure, but it is a quick and reliable backup treatment for presbyopes. Other eye disorders, such as nearsightedness and farsightedness, won't be helped by these drops.

The fact that there were no negative side effects from the drops is a piece of encouraging news. However, a few patients also reported minor headaches and red eyes.
