Honolulu Ophthalmologist Offers New Presbyopia Eye Drop Treatment

Dr. Alan Faulkner has conducted noteworthy work in ophthalmology around the world. Here, he provides professional insight into Vuity eye drops. 

Honolulu, HI – Aloha Laser Vision is renowned throughout Hawaii as a leader in the latest eye care technology and trends. Their team of Honolulu eye specialists is excited to announce the newest option at their practice: Vuity eye drops, a treatment for presbyopia. Dr. Alan Faulkner is ecstatic to feature this groundbreaking treatment, which is manufactured by Allergan and could potentially replace eyeglasses as the standard solution for mild and moderate age-induced blurry near vision. The drops were approved by the FDA in October 2021.

According to Dr. Faulkner, “Our eyes have the power to reduce the size of our pupils in order to increase our depth of vision. Vuity triggers that reaction and can improve presbyopia, or blurry near vision, for up to six hours.” The application of the medication, he continues, is very similar to traditional eyedrops, and is usually taken once a day. “The effects usually begin 15 minutes after application,” Dr. Faulkner adds.

While the ophthalmology world is currently abuzz with excitement over Vuity, Aloha Laser Vision’s team reminds patients that the product is not for everyone. This drop is best for mild and moderate presbyopia, says Dr. Faulkner. As the eye continues to age, presbyopia will become too advanced for presbyopia. “For patients with advanced presbyopia or those who want a permanent solution,” Dr. Faulkner explains, “refractive lens exchange may be an option.” The practice, which is known as one of the most technologically advanced in Hawaii, also offers LASIK surgery to treat a variety of visual impairments.
