Eye drops are in the frame to replace reading glasses for the declining ability to see up-close, or presbyopia. The FDA has approved prescription-only Vuity™ drops for sale in the US to aid presbyopia.

University of Auckland physiology research fellow and optometrist Dr Alyssa is assessing Vuity™ drops in line with her on-going research into the role of moisture in eye health, and the prevention of cataracts as we age. Dr Lie is currently looking for more male participants to take part in her study.
