This will not affect your appointments or your patient experience in the least.

(Vuity) Sick of Reaching for Readers?

The FDA has recently approved a drop called Vuity to help combat the difficulties of seeing up close as we age. 

Presbyopia

As we enter into our 40s, it becomes increasingly more challenging to both read and perform near activities, better known as presbyopia. During this time most people begin to hold reading materials further away and find themselves reaching for over the counter readers or switching into progressive glasses. Both options can be cumbersome as well as a constant source of frustration.

What Can I Do About This?

The FDA has recently approved the first and only marketed eye drop, Vuity, to help treat blurred near vision in adults. Vuity has shown promise in helping reduce one’s dependency on readers with just one easy drop daily.  It takes approximately 15 minutes to work and it can provide better near vision for up to 6 hours with minimal side effects.

How Can I Get Vuity?

Call the office to schedule an appointment to learn more about Vuity and see if it would be right for you!
