Vizz contracts the iris sphincter muscle resulting in a pinhole effect, achieving a <a href=\"https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/tags\/pupil\/\" rel=\"tag noopener\" class=\"textTag\" target=\"_blank\">pupil<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>The approval was based on data from phase 3 studies: CLARITY 1 and CLARITY 2 evaluated the safety and efficacy of Vizz in 466 participants dosed once daily for 42 days, while CLARITY 3 evaluated 217 participants for long-term safety over six months of once-daily dosing.<\/p>\n<p>Across trials, Vizz demonstrated improved near vision within 30 minutes that lasted up to 10 hours. There were no serious treatment-related adverse events observed across all three trials (30,000 treatment days). The most common reported adverse reactions (mostly mild, transient, and self-resolving) included installation site irritation, dim vision, and headache.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This FDA approval represents a disruptive paradigm shift in treatment options for millions of people who are frustrated and struggling with the inevitable age-related loss of their near vision,&#8221; Vizz clinical investigator Marc Bloomenstein, O.D., from the Schwartz Laser Eye Care Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe this will be a welcome solution for both optometrists and ophthalmologists who will now be able to offer a highly effective and sought-after presbyopia treatment that could immediately become the standard of care, with a product profile that will meet our patients&#8217; needs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The approval of Vizz was granted to LENZ Therapeutics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information:<\/strong><br \/>\n                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/news-release\/2025\/07\/31\/3125400\/0\/en\/LENZ-Therapeutics-Announces-US-FDA-Approval-of-VIZZ-for-the-Treatment-of-Presbyopia.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More Information<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/consumer.healthday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HealthDay<\/a>.
