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

How Vuity Works

Vuity contains pilocarpine, a medication that works by contracting the muscles in your eye to make your pupil smaller. This creates a "pinhole effect" that increases the depth of focus, allowing you to see clearly at multiple distances.

The Science Behind Vuity

  • Pupil Constriction: Reduces pupil size by approximately 1.3mm
  • Increased Depth of Focus: Allows clear vision at multiple distances
  • Maintained Distance Vision: Does not significantly impact far vision
  • Temporary Effect: Wears off gradually over 6-10 hours

Clinical Results

  • Proven Efficacy: Clinical trials show significant near vision improvement
  • Safe Profile: Well-tolerated with minimal side effects
  • Quick Onset: Effects begin within 15 minutes
  • Daily Use: Can be used once daily as needed
