New eye drops could replace reading glasses for presbyopia
NCT ID NCT05728944
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tested LNZ101 eye drops in 229 people aged 45-75 with presbyopia, a condition that makes it hard to see up close. The drops combine aceclidine and brimonidine to temporarily improve near vision. The main goal was to see if participants could read three lines better on an eye chart without losing distance vision. The study is complete, offering hope for a non-surgical option.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Aceclidine and brimonidine combination eye drops
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a non-surgical, temporary fix for reading vision in people with presbyopia.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed Phase 3 trial, but results may not apply to everyone. The effect is temporary and requires repeated use. Side effects are possible.
