What is the cost?Ī 30-day supply (5 mL bottle) will cost most patients around $79. The most common adverse events (> 5%) were headache and eye redness.
In both studies, Vuity met the primary endpoint, reaching statistical significance in improvement in near vision in low light conditions without a loss of distance vision compared with placebo on day 30 at hour 3. The FDA approval of Vuity is based on data from two pivotal phase 3 clinical studies, GEMINI 1 and GEMINI 2, which evaluated the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Vuity for the treatment of presbyopia.
Vuity is a once daily prescription eye drop that works in as quickly as 15 minutes and lasts up to 6 hours to improve near and intermediate vision without affecting distance vision. Vuity also contracts the ciliary muscle and may shift the eye to a more myopic state. Vuity contracts the iris sphincter muscle, constricting the pupil to improve near and intermediate visual acuity while maintaining some pupillary response to light. Pilocarpine is a cholinergic muscarinic agonist that activates muscarinic receptors located at smooth muscles such as the iris sphincter and ciliary muscles. Sure! Vuity (view-eh-tee) is an optimized formulation of pilocarpine delivered with Allergan’s proprietary pHast technology, which allows the drop to rapidly adjust to the physiologic pH of the tear film. Allergan announced that Vuity (pilocarpine HCl ophthalmic solution 1.25%), the first and only eye drop approved by the FDA to treat presbyopia, is now available by prescription in pharmacies nationwide.
