VUITY™ Eye Drops from Innovative Eye Care Could Replace Your Reading Glasses
If you’re sick of misplacing or forgetting your reading glasses, VUITY™ eye drops may be right for you. For many of us, as we age, our near vision starts to worsen and we need reading glasses. This age-related blurry near vision eye condition is called presbyopia. Fortunately, the first and only FDA-approved eye drops to treat this condition have been developed and are now available at Innovative Eye Care. These new eye drops can start to work in only 15 minutes and have effects that can last up to ten hours according to the manufacturer.
Are VUITY™ Eye Drops Right for You?
You may be surprised to hear that almost half the population of the U.S. has presbyopia. In fact, the majority of people over 40 have some level of age-related near vision loss. It’s not just reading, either. Any time your reading glasses aren’t on, you’re not seeing anything in your near vision clearly. This can affect many daily activities, including driving. VUITY™ eye drops are intended for use in patients that are 40 to 55 years old. If you are within this age range and have presbyopia, call us today to set up an appointment.
How Do VUITY™ Eye Drops Work?
A low concentration of a medication that has been used to treat glaucoma for more than 100 years is the key. This is great because doctors already have a lot of experience using it. Researchers found that in low doses this medication temporarily decreases the size of the pupil. It’s a similar principle to camera lenses and extending the range of focus. This means that your near vision can be improved without affecting your long vision. However, since the smaller pupil takes in less light, they shouldn’t be used for night driving.
