Vizz Now Available at U.S. Pharmacies: What Patients Should Know
We’re excited to share that Vizz™ (aceclidine ophthalmic solution 1.44 %) is now making its way into U.S. pharmacies — both local retail and online options — following its July 31 2025 approval by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Drugs.com+3Ophthalmology Times+3Drugs.com+3
📦 What This Means for You
Commercial samples of Vizz began shipping in October 2025, with broad availability expected by mid-Q4. Pharmacy Times+2LENZ Therapeutics, Inc.+2
Vizz offers adults with Presbyopia a once-daily prescription drop that improves near-vision clarity for up to 10 hours while preserving distance vision. WebMD+1
The drop is available by prescription only — you’ll need a valid script from a physician and fulfillment through your preferred pharmacy.
🧪 Why Pharmacy Availability Matters
Until now, your near-vision options were largely limited to reading glasses, multifocal contacts, or surgical procedures. With Vizz’s arrival, patients now have a pharmacological option for near-vision clarity that fits into daily life. As one commentator noted:
“This marks a disruptive paradigm shift in treatment options for millions of people who are frustrated and struggling with the inevitable age-related loss of their near vision.” Pharmacy Times+1
✅ What to Do Before Going to the Pharmacy
Discuss Vizz with your eye-care provider to determine if it’s appropriate for you.
Obtain a prescription, then select a pharmacy — many sites allow you to search and filter for local or mail-order fulfillment.
Ask your pharmacy for current pricing and availability, as costs may vary and initial supply may be limited regionally.
Once you have your vial, follow the dosage instructions: one drop in each eye, wait two minutes, then a second drop in each eye — once per day. FDA Access Data
⚠️ Safety Notes & Typical Side-Effects
In large Phase 3 trials (CLARITY 1 & 2: 466 participants; CLARITY 3: 217 participants), Vizz was well-tolerated with no serious treatment-related events. Epocrates+1 Common side-effects included:
Instillation-site irritation (~20 %)
Dim or dark vision (~16 %)
Headache (~13 %)
Managed Healthcare Executive+1
Because Vizz causes pupil constriction (a pinhole effect), you will want to avoid driving until your vision clears after instillation. Also, inform your provider if you have retinal issues, iritis, or recent eye surgery, as such conditions were excluded in trials. FDA Access Data
🌟 Final Thoughts
The availability of Vizz in pharmacies represents an important milestone for anyone dealing with blurry near vision. With once-daily dosing, a strong clinical data set, and broad rollout underway, it’s a treatment option worth exploring — especially if you’re tired of constantly relying on reading glasses.
