Vizz - Overview
Vizz is a medication sometimes prescribed to people who want treatment for presbyopia (age-related farsightedness). People who might need a Vizz prescription can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe Vizz medication when appropriate to do so.
What Is Vizz Used For?
Vizz prescription medication is sometimes prescribed to people for the treatment for presbyopia - similar to Vuity. Presbyopia is a near-universal, age-related condition in which the eye's crystalline lens gradually hardens and loses its ability to focus on objects up close. Presbyopia affects approximately 128 million adults in the United States and typically begins around age 45. It is distinct from nearsightedness or farsightedness and cannot be corrected by lifestyle changes. Instead, it can be treated using optical aids like reading glasses, multifocal lenses, surgical options, or pharmacologic treatment like Vizz.
Vizz is the first and only FDA-approved aceclidine-based eye drop for the treatment of presbyopia in adults. Vizz drops offer a once-daily pharmacologic option for the millions of people who want to reduce their dependence on reading glasses or contacts. Vizz medication is an ophthalmic solution that is thought to work by stimulating muscarinic receptors located on smooth muscles and causes contraction of the iris sphincter muscle. The effect of this is that Vizz medication causes a pinhole effect that extends depth of focus to improve vision. Vizz prescription solution belongs to a class of medications known as cholinergic agonists.
Vizz medication was evaluated in several randomized studies - CLARITY 1, 2 and 3. These studies demonstrated that, within 30 minutes of one drop, many subjects gained 3 or more lines on the near visual acuity chart. These visual gains lasted for up to 10 hours in some people. CLARITY 3 evaluated the long-term safety of aceclidine 1.44% across 6 months of once-daily dosing in 217 patients. No serious treatment-related adverse events were observed across all three trials. The formulation was well-tolerated with consistent near vision improvements maintained throughout the study period.
Vizz vs. Vuity - What Is the Difference?
Vizz and Vuity are both prescription eye drops for presbyopia, but they work through different mechanisms and have meaningfully different clinical profiles.
Vuity (pilocarpine HCl 1.25%) was the first FDA-approved eye drop for presbyopia. Pilocarpine is a non-selective muscarinic agonist that stimulates both the iris sphincter muscle (causing pupil constriction) and the ciliary muscle (causing the lens to accommodate). The ciliary muscle stimulation can cause a myopic shift that results in temporary blurring of distance vision, particularly in low-light conditions. This is the primary limitation of Vuity for many patients.
Vizz's aceclidine is a predominantly pupil-selective miotic that interacts with the iris with minimal ciliary muscle stimulation. This means that Vizz achieves the pinhole effect needed for near vision improvement without the distance vision compromise associated with pilocarpine. Vizz medication maintains its miotic effect for about 10 hours in comparison to Vuity's shorter effective duration.
The practical result is that Vizz may be better suited for people who tried Vuity and experienced distance blur or people who prioritize all-day efficacy without switching between distance and near vision correction. A licensed medical provider can help determine whether Vizz or Vuity is the better fit based on a patient's lifestyle and specific vision needs.

Vizz - Dosage and Cost
Vizz prescription solution is typically prescribed as two drops instilled in each eye two minutes apart, once daily. Vizz prescription medication is available as Vizz ophthalmic solution 1.44% in a single dose vial. Vizz medication is typically available for $79 per month for 25 single-dose vials or $198 for a 3-month supply of 75 vials (subject to change). Pharmacy pricing may vary by location. Some commercial insurance plans may help cover the cost of Vizz when prescribed for presbyopia. Savings programs from LENZ Therapeutics may also be available to reduce out-of-pocket costs.
Can I Buy Vizz Online?
Vizz requires a prescription to be dispensed by a pharmacy in the United States. For this reason, Vizz OTC (over the counter) is not available and one cannot just buy Vizz online. The first step to getting a Vizz prescription is consulting a licensed medical provider. People who might need a Vizz prescription can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe Vizz medication when appropriate to do so.
Vizz - Frequently Asked Questions
What is Vizz and what is it used for?
Vizz (aceclidine ophthalmic solution 1.44%) is a once-daily prescription eye drop FDA-approved for the treatment of presbyopia in adults. Presbyopia is an age-related condition in which the lens of the eye gradually hardens and loses its ability to focus on near objects. Vizz works by creating a pinhole effect — contracting the pupil of the eye through muscarinic receptor activation — which extends depth of focus and improves near vision. The effect begins within 30 minutes and can last up to 10 hours.
How does Vizz compare to Vuity?
Both Vizz and Vuity are prescription eye drops for presbyopia, but they use different active ingredients and have different clinical profiles. Vuity contains pilocarpine, which stimulates both the iris and the ciliary muscle — the ciliary muscle activation can cause temporary blurring of distance vision (myopic shift) in some patients. Vizz contains aceclidine, which is predominantly pupil-selective and contracts the iris with minimal ciliary muscle stimulation, providing near vision improvement with less distance vision compromise. Vizz also has a longer duration of effect — up to 10 hours vs. 4–6 hours for most patients on Vuity.
How quickly does Vizz work?
Vizz typically begins to improve near vision within 30 minutes of instillation. In the CLARITY clinical trials, many participants gained 3 or more lines on the near visual acuity chart within 30 minutes of using one drop. The effect can last up to 10 hours in some patients.
Does Vizz affect distance vision?
Vizz is designed to minimize effects on distance vision. Because aceclidine is predominantly pupil-selective — contracting the iris sphincter without significantly stimulating the ciliary muscle — it avoids the myopic shift (temporary distance blurring) that is a common limitation of pilocarpine-based drops like Vuity. Some patients may notice mild changes in low-light vision or peripheral vision due to pupil constriction, but significant distance vision blur is not expected with Vizz.
Can I wear contact lenses with Vizz?
Contact lenses should be removed before instilling Vizz eye drops. Lenses can typically be reinserted after waiting an appropriate period — patients should follow the guidance of their prescribing provider and the product instructions regarding contact lens use.
What dosage forms is Vizz available in?
Vizz is available as aceclidine ophthalmic solution 1.44% in a single-dose vial. The prescribed dose is two drops instilled in each eye two minutes apart, once daily.
Is Vizz covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage for Vizz varies by plan. As a recently approved branded medication, coverage may require prior authorization. Patients should check with their insurer. A savings program from LENZ Therapeutics may help reduce out-of-pocket costs for eligible patients.
How should Vizz eye drops be stored?
Vizz eye drops should be stored refrigerated at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C). Once removed from the refrigerator, Vizz drops can be stored at room temperature but should be used within 30 days. Single-dose vials should be used immediately after opening and discarded after use.
Vizz - Side Effects
Vizz prescription medication can cause side effects when used, including site irritation, dim vision, and headache. Contact lenses should be removed before using Vizz medication. Vizz should generally not be used in patients with a history of narrow-angle glaucoma or anatomical features that predispose to acute angle closure. Patients with a history of retinal detachment or active intraocular inflammation should discuss their history and risks with a medical provider before starting Vizz. Patients with a known hypersensitivity to aceclidine or any component of the Vizz formulation should not use this medication. Before using Vizz medication, it is important to discuss potential side effects and other concerns with a qualified medical provider. Vizz and alcohol should generally not be used together.
