How YUVEZZI Works video

As our eyes age, close-up vision can become blurry, a condition known as presbyopia. Simple things like reading or texting become harder. This happens because a part of the eye called the lens becomes less flexible and cannot focus properly on objects that are close-up. Luckily, another part of the eye, the pupil, can also adjust to help you focus on close-up objects. The pupil has muscles that work to make it bigger or smaller.

YUVEZZI is a once daily eye drop that works on the eye muscles to improve close-up vision. YUVEZZI combines two trusted ingredients that have been used for nearly 30 years to treat eye conditions. The first ingredient, carbachol, works on the eye muscles that make the pupil smaller. It activates them so the pupil becomes small, which allows your eye to focus up close. The second ingredient, brimonidine, prevents your pupils from getting larger. Brimonidine helps YUVEZZI last longer.

Thanks to the combination of ingredients, YUVEZZI can last up to 8 hours, allowing you to have sharp, close-up vision throughout the day, without the need for reading glasses.

Just one drop per eye, once a day, with YUVEZZI for sharp close-up vision. Find an eye doctor at YUVEZZIdoctor.com. Please stay tuned for Important Safety Information and see the Brief Summary at YUVEZZI.com.

USE

YUVEZZI is a prescription eye drop for adults with blurry close-up vision due to age.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not use YUVEZZI if you are allergic to any of its ingredients or if you currently have inflammation of the iris (iritis).

Before taking YUVEZZI, tell your doctor if you have depression, low blood pressure, or circulation problems.

YUVEZZI may cause temporary blurry, dim, or dark vision. If you experience this, avoid driving, using machinery, and participating in hazardous activities. Use caution when night driving and in other activities in low light.

Call your doctor right away if you suddenly have flashes of light, floaters, or vision loss.

Do not let the tip of the vial touch your eye, eyelid, or any other surface.

The most common side effects of YUVEZZI are headache, impaired vision, and eye pain and/or eye irritation upon use. These are not all of the possible side effects of YUVEZZI.

Most side effects were generally mild, didn’t last long, and went away on their own.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Brimonidine for treating pupil dilation
2
Brimonidine helps keep your pupils from getting too large (or “dilating”). This helps YUVEZZI last longer.
