VUITY is a new eye drop containing 1.25% pilocarpine hydrochloride, which is used as an ingredient in eye drops. In general, the crystalline lens of the eyeball becomes harder and the muscles of the eye gradually weaken with age, but VUITY can contract the pupils of the eye and improve the eyesight required to see near. The effect of VUITY appears 15 minutes after instillation, and it is said that the effect lasts for up to 6 hours.
The price for one month of VUITY is about 80 dollars (about 9100 yen). In a clinical trial conducted on people aged 40 to 55 years with presbyopia, there was statistical significance in improving visual acuity. VUITY developer Allergan reports that VUITY is most effective for people aged 40-55 years with mild or moderate presbyopia.
Allergan has pointed out that the contraction of the pupil may cause deterioration of eyesight in dark places, and side effects such as headache and red eye may occur. At the launch of VUITY, Allergan said, 'The key innovation of VUITY in the problem of presbyopia reflects our commitment to help improve vision and expands our key portfolio for ophthalmologists and patients.' I am saying.
