Could Eye Drops Replace Your Glasses?

The video discusses presbyopia, a common age-related vision issue, and traditional correction methods like glasses and surgery. It introduces a new solution: eye drops that use the pinhole effect to improve vision. The FDA-approved drug pilocarpine, traditionally used for glaucoma, is now used for presbyopia. Clinical trials showed it improves near vision for about six hours, with some side effects like headaches and red eyes. Future developments may enhance these eye drops further, but they are not yet a replacement for glasses.
