YUVEZZI was studied in the world's largest and longest safety study for presbyopia eye drops
In medical studies, the safety of YUVEZZI was evaluated ~2x longer than other presbyopia eye drops
- The most common side effects were headache (16%), impaired vision (6%), and eye pain (7%) and/or eye irritation (14%) upon use
- Most side effects were generally mild, didn’t last long, and went away on their own
- Headache rates were generally low (less than 2 out of 10 patients) and decreased with continued use
- People taking YUVEZZI had no treatment-related serious side effects in a 1-year safety study
- Nearly 9 out of 10 people were able to keep using YUVEZZI without stopping because of side effects for the full year of the study
- Eye redness was not a common side effect in medical studies of YUVEZZI. Fewer than 3 out of 100 people taking YUVEZZI reported eye redness (or “hyperemia”) as a side effect
Can I use YUVEZZI with contacts?
Yes, you can use YUVEZZI with contact lenses. If you wear contacts, remove them before using YUVEZZI. Wait at least 10 minutes after using YUVEZZI before you put them back in your eyes.
