New eye drops could replace reading glasses for millions
NCT ID NCT05656027
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested an eye drop called LNZ101 to help people with presbyopia (age-related trouble seeing up close) read without glasses. 469 adults aged 45-75 received the drops, and researchers measured how many gained clear near vision without losing distance vision on the first day. The goal was to see if the drops are safe and effective for temporary symptom relief.
