Vuity
Vuity (generic name: pilocarpine hydrochloride) is an eye drop medication used to treat presbyopia, a common age-related condition that causes difficulty focusing on near objects. Vuity is a cholinergic muscarinic receptor agonist that works by reducing the pupil size, improving near vision without significantly affecting distance vision. Vuity is typically prescribed to individuals over the age of 40 who are experiencing presbyopia.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Vuity Work?
Vuity works by stimulating muscarinic receptors in the eye, leading to pupil constriction (miosis). By reducing the size of the pupil, it increases the depth of focus, allowing the eye to focus better on nearby objects. This action helps improve near vision for individuals with presbyopia without significantly affecting their ability to see distant objects.

- 1.25% pilocarpine ophthalmic solution
Typical Dosing
- The typical dose is one drop in each eye once daily, as needed. The effect of Vuity can last for up to 6 hours. Follow the dosing schedule as recommended by your healthcare provider.
