Lenz Therapeutics announces U.S. commercial availability of VIZZ

LENZ Therapeutics (LENZ) announced VIZZ 1.44%, the first and only FDA-approved aceclidine-based eye drop for the treatment of presbyopia in adults, is now available. Professional product sample distribution by the sales force to optometrists and ophthalmologists has been initiated nationwide. Commercial product shipments will be initiated to consumers in October through our ePharmacy partner and is anticipated to be broadly available, including via retail pharmacies, by mid-Q4 2025. VIZZ is powered by aceclidine, differentiated by its mechanism of action as a predominantly pupil-selective miotic that interacts with the iris, with minimal ciliary muscle stimulation. VIZZ contracts the iris sphincter muscle, resulting in a pinhole effect and uniquely achieves a sub-2mm pupil that extends depth of focus to significantly improve near vision without causing a myopic shift. In the CLARITY Phase 3 clinical trial, 93% of participants achieved 20/40 or better near vision within 30 minutes and lasted up to 10 hours. This level of near vision can restore the ability to read a phone screen and other everyday fine print without the assistance of reading glasses.
