New eye drops aim to replace reading glasses – but are they safe Long-Term?
NCT ID NCT05753189
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 3 study tested the long-term safety of LNZ101 eye drops, a combination of aceclidine and brimonidine, in 362 adults aged 45-75 with presbyopia (age-related blurry near vision). Participants used the drops regularly and were monitored for side effects. The study is complete, and results will show how safe the drops are for ongoing use.
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 successful, this could confirm that the eye drops are safe for long-term use to temporarily improve near vision without glasses.
- What could go wrong
- This is a safety study, not designed to prove effectiveness. Side effects like eye irritation or redness may occur, and the drops only work while they are being used.
