Could These Eye Drops End the Need for Reading Glasses?


Trials of vision-improving substances are showing good results, though so far only two have been authorized for use in the United States.

For people with shortsightedness, or myopia, who struggle to see faraway objects clearly, the onset of presbyopia may at first lead to improved vision by compensating for their existing condition. In a two-year retrospective study of 766 people, average age 55 years, the researchers found that the eye drops enabled the majority of patients to improve their vision. But as more studies test these eye drops in larger populations to further evaluate their safety and efficacy, they may become a viable alternative for those people who just can’t stand wearing glasses or for whom surgery isn’t an option.
