In the US, developed eye drops that can replace glasses
|
The FDA has approved eye drops for the treatment of presbyopia, usually compensated by reading glasses.
The drug contains pilocarpine, constricting the pupil and reducing intraocular pressure, which allows the eye to better focus on objects located at close range. At the same time, the view into the distance does not deteriorate.
The effect of the drug occurs within 15 minutes and can last up to six hours.
