00:00What is VIS, the new FDA-approved eyedrop to fix near vision?

00:05If you are currently pushing your phone farther away to read, you may have presbyopia, a normal

00:10vision change occurring in your 40s.

00:12This condition causes the eye's lens to stiffen, making close-up vision blurry.

00:17Traditional treatments include reading glasses, multifocal lenses, contacts, or surgery.

00:23Now, a new FDA-approved eyedrop called VIS offers another option.

00:28VIS contains acyclidine 1.44% and works by gently shrinking the pupil, creating a pinhole

00:34effect that increases depth of focus.

00:37Clinical studies showed improved near vision without affecting distance vision, with effects

00:42lasting up to 10 hours.

00:44The treatment requires one drop in each eye, waiting two minutes, then a second drop, once

00:49daily.

00:50Common side effects include brief irritation, headache, eye redness, and dim vision.

00:55Since pupils remain smaller, activities in low light may feel darker.

01:00VIS can be used alongside other vision aids.

01:02You might use VIS on reading-heavy days, wear multifocal contacts for travel, and keep readers

01:07handy for tiny print.

01:09Other presbyopia treatments include VUAT, a pylocarpine-based drop approved in 2021.

01:16Companies are also developing combination approaches for longer-lasting effects.

01:20While eye exercises cannot reverse presbyopia, they can reduce eye strain.

01:26The 20-20-20 rule helps.

01:28Every 20 minutes look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

01:32Presbyopia affects most people with age, but with proper treatment like VIS, good lighting,

01:37and the right tools, comfortable vision is achievable.

01:40Regular eye exams are essential to monitor presbyopia and detect other conditions.
