Revolutionary Solution for Reading Vision
Are you struggling to find your reading glasses? There is now an innovative solution available! Vuity is an FDA-approved prescription eye drop that can provide comfortable near vision without the constant need for reading glasses.
This breakthrough treatment works by temporarily reducing pupil size, which increases the eye's depth of focus and improves near vision. The effects typically last 6-10 hours, allowing you to read, use your phone, and perform close-up tasks with greater ease.
FDA Approved: Vuity is the first and only FDA-approved eye drop specifically designed to treat presbyopia, offering a safe and effective alternative to reading glasses.
Understanding Presbyopia
Presbyopia, commonly known as age-related farsightedness, is a natural part of the aging process that affects virtually everyone over 40 years old. Unlike hyperopia (farsightedness), which is related to the shape of the eye, presbyopia occurs due to the hardening and decreased flexibility of the lens inside your eye.
As we age, the lens in our eye becomes less flexible, making it difficult to focus on close objects. This is similar to how a camera lens works – when it can't adjust properly, objects at certain distances appear blurry.
Common Symptoms
- Difficulty reading small print
- Holding reading material at arm's length
- Eye strain during close work
- Headaches after reading
- Poor vision in dim lighting
Who It Affects
- Adults over 40 years old
- Over 110 million Americans
- Progressive condition that worsens with age
- Affects people regardless of previous vision
- Universal age-related change
