Newly-approved eyedrops could replace reading glasses for millions of middle-aged people

A new drug that hit the market Thursday has the potential to offer middle-aged people freedom from reading glasses.

The drug, pilocarpine, is being sold under the brand name Vuity by drugmaker Allergan. It’s the first drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat presbyopia, an age-related disorder that makes it difficult to see small nearby objects.
