A newly approved eye drop hitting the market on Thursday could change the lives of millions of Americans with age-related blurred near vision, a condition affecting mostly people 40 and older.


Vuity, which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in October, would potentially replace reading glasses for some of the 128 million Americans who have trouble seeing close-up. The new medicine takes effect in about 15 minutes, with one drop on each eye providing sharper vision for six to 10 hours, according to the company.

2. No thanks. Another chemical with possible side effects in my eye every single day.

I'll stick wtih the reading glasses.

As an aside, if you have an astigmatism (like me), get some prescription reading glasses with a lower power and just correct the astigmatism. I did and it is incredible. Very lightweight too -- got mine a eyebuydirect.com

4. Sounds interesting. Although night/dark vision won't be as good.
