How VIZZ Eye Drops Help with Age-Related Vision
VIZZ is a prescription eye drop developed to improve near vision in adults with presbyopia. It offers an alternative to reading glasses by working directly on the eye’s focusing ability.

Understanding the Condition
Presbyopia
is a common vision condition that affects adults as they age. It usually begins
after age 40 and results from the eye’s lens losing flexibility. As a result,
focusing on close-up tasks, such as reading or using a phone, becomes harder.
Most
people use reading glasses or bifocals to manage this change. While effective,
these tools do not address how the eye itself focuses. VIZZ represents a
different approach that changes the eye’s optical behavior.
How VIZZ Works
The
active ingredient in VIZZ is aceclidine.
This compound causes the pupil to contract slightly, producing a pinhole effect
that increases the depth of field. This allows the eye to bring nearby objects
into clearer focus.
The
drop is designed for once-daily use. It usually takes effect within 30 minutes
and can last for up to 10 hours, depending on the user. VIZZ comes in
single-use, preservative-free vials to reduce the risk of irritation or
contamination.
Clinical Development and Use
VIZZ
is the first aceclidine-based eye drop approved in the United States for the
treatment of presbyopia. Approval followed clinical studies that tested both
its safety and effectiveness in adults with age-related near vision loss.
In
these studies, many participants experienced temporary improvement in near
vision after use. Reported side effects were typically mild, including eye
redness, dim vision, or slight discomfort. The results suggest that VIZZ may
offer a short-term improvement in near focus for individuals with presbyopia.
Guidelines for Use
VIZZ
is only available with a prescription. Users should follow medical instructions
and avoid activities such as driving or using machinery if vision becomes dim
after application.
Contact
lens users are generally advised to remove their lenses before applying the
drop and wait before reinserting them. As with all eye medications, it's
important to avoid touching the vial tip to the eye or other surfaces during
use.
