Getting Older? Time for New Tricks — Meet Vizz™ Eye Drops for Aging Eyes
As we get older, we expect some aches and pains — but most people are surprised when their eyes begin to change too. Reading gets harder. Near vision feels blurry. Night driving becomes uncomfortable. You may notice more glare, dryness, or a constant feeling of visual strain.
For many adults in South Jordan, Herriman, Riverton, Sandy, Draper, and West Jordan, these changes feel frustrating… and they often seem to happen “all at once.”
But here’s the exciting part:
Science is catching up — and new solutions are making aging eyes feel younger again.
One of the most promising options now available at Progressive Eye Care is Vizz™, a prescription eye drop designed to sharpen near vision without readers for many adults with presbyopia.
Let’s break down what Vizz does, who it helps, and how we decide whether it’s right for you.
Why Reading Gets Harder After 40
At around age 40–45, the lens inside your eye becomes less flexible — a completely normal part of aging called presbyopia. When the lens can’t bend as easily, focusing up close takes more effort.
This leads to:
-
Needing brighter light to read
-
Holding your phone farther away
-
Switching between distance and near vision more slowly
-
More frequent eye fatigue
-
Relying on readers (that never seem to be where you left them!)
Presbyopia happens to everyone… but now there are more solutions than ever before.
What Are Vizz™ Eye Drops?
Vizz is a daily prescription eye drop that improves near vision for adults with presbyopia. It works by gently shrinking the pupil — a process called pinhole optics — allowing more of your near field to come into focus without readers for many everyday tasks.
Most patients experience improvement within 15 minutes, and the benefits can last 6 hours or more, depending on the individual.
People love Vizz because:
-
It’s fast
-
It’s convenient
-
It fits naturally into a daily routine
-
It helps reduce dependence on reading glasses
It won’t replace glasses in every situation… but for many adults, it noticeably improves near vision throughout the day.
What Kinds of People Benefit Most From Vizz?
Vizz works best for adults in their 40s to mid-50s who:
-
Have mild to moderate near-vision difficulty
-
Want fewer interruptions from “Where did I put my readers?”
-
Prefer a non-surgical option
-
Need something easy for work, meetings, or evenings out
-
Want better near vision without changing their glasses prescription
Many of our patients use Vizz as a complement to their regular glasses or contacts — not necessarily a replacement, but a major convenience booster.
Is Vizz Safe? What About Side Effects?
Most people tolerate Vizz well.
Some experience mild temporary effects such as:
-
Slight eye redness
-
A dimming effect in low light
-
Mild headache during early use
-
Short-term brow ache (typically fades after the first week)
Because it affects the size of your pupil, driving at night while the drop is active is not recommended for many users. We’ll discuss your unique visual demands during your visit.
As with any medication, a full eye exam ensures that Vizz is safe and appropriate for you.
How We Decide Whether Vizz Is Right for You
At Progressive Eye Care, your exam includes:
✔️ A detailed presbyopia evaluation
We determine whether your focusing system is compatible with pupil-modifying drops like Vizz. Dilation is often performed to rule out a risk of detachment of the retina.
✔️ A discussion of lifestyle
Your work, reading habits, and screen use guide our recommendations.
✔️ A comparison to alternative options
We help you understand how Vizz compares to:
-
Multifocal contacts
-
Progressive eyeglasses
-
Neurolens® for eye strain
- Reading or computer glasses
-
Screen-friendly solutions like Avulux® for light sensitivity
Our goal is always customized care — not a one-size-fits-all solution.
The Bottom Line
Getting older doesn’t mean accepting blurry near vision.
And it definitely doesn’t mean juggling readers everywhere you go.
With options like Vizz™ eye drops, adults in South Jordan and across the Salt Lake Valley are finding a refreshing level of freedom and visual comfort.
Sometimes aging eyes just need a new trick — and this one is simple, effective, and surprisingly empowering.
