Summary
This study tested whether a special eye drop (esculin and digitalis glycosides) can improve near vision in people with presbyopia, the age-related difficulty focusing on close objects. 62 adults aged 40-55 took part. The goal was to see if the drops help the eye's focusing muscle work better, reducing the need for reading glasses.
