Eye drops instead of reading glasses

[Rookie]

For all of us old people, there is a new eye drop available by prescription that allows you to read without reading glasses called Vuity. It's pretty nice to be able to focus without glasses. One drop per eye lasts 6-10 hours.

If this stuff works and my eye doc would approve, this would be a game changer for me! Heck I could go back to iron sights! I wouldn't even use it all the time. I'm okay sitting at my computer with readers on, but at the range? Heck yeah!

• Temporary problems when changing focus between near and distant objects may occur. Do not drive or use machinery if vision is not clear.

I'd like to try this, though.

I just started some multifocal contact lenses. I've never needed vision correction before, but being in my late 40s now requires reading glasses. I'm on day 6 of these and I think my eyes have adjusted. It's made a huge difference. I don't need reading glasses. It took a couple different trial sets of contacts before these.

My wife has been using them for a week and hasn't had a single issue or complaint. Not saying that it's not possible...

Today is my first day trying them. The drops sting a little when you first put them in. I haven't had any issue, but I've noticed everything is sharper and colors are more pronounced.

I tried those. I just couldn't get them to work for me.

Keep us posted if you don't mind. I am particularly interested in knowing if the front sight on a handgun gets clearer.

Assuming you guinea pigs don't have any issues, I'd love to try these.

Got a rough guestimate of what the overall costs of this is, for a sole without vision coverage on their health insurance?

Maybe there is a drop for memory also? Seems as if I looked into this stuff when it first came out and decided that the readers were the way for me, considering cost?

Around $80 for a 30 day supply...

Thank you sir!

Yeah, these readers are a PIA, but they are just fine. Three dollars a day...

I was hoping it was something you could just pop in when you wanted it. But the drops probably don't have long enough shelf life for occasional use.

i wouldn't be surprised if it wouldn't be covered anyway...

That also brings up the interesting situation with driving. I can't drive with the readers on as long distance vision is bad/dangerous.

I darn near had to have the readers on to pass the vision test for driver's license. It would be a danger to require the readers on for diving though. BMV had no answers to the problem.

I tried for quite a while, with different ones, just couldn't get the right balance of reading and regular vision.

It's covered by my insurance.

I got it in January 2022. Expiration date is September 2023.
