AbbVie’s subsidiary Allergan has announced the availability of FDA-approved eye drop, VUITY (pilocarpine HCl ophthalmic solution) 1.25%, by prescription in pharmacies across the US.

VUITY is a once-a-day prescription eye drop used for the treatment of age-related blurry near vision or presbyopia in adults.

It improves near and intermediate vision of adults without affecting their distance vision.

The eye drop is an optimised formulation of pilocarpine, which is an established eye care therapy.

In October this year, the eye drop received FDA approval based on the data obtained from two pivotal Phase III clinical trials – GEMINI 1 and GEMINI 2.

In these trials, the safety, efficacy, and ability of VUITY was evaluated to treat age-related blurry near vision.
