Alcon is redefining presbyopia correction with the U.S. launch of its Clareon PanOptix Pro Trifocal IOLโ€”an advanced intraocular lens designed to deliver exceptional vision at near, intermediate, and far distances. Built to address the challenges of presbyopia, this lens helps patients regain seamless visual range and reduce dependence on glasses. Featuring ENLIGHTEN Optical Technology, it offers 94% light utilisation and reduced light scatter, enhancing contrast and clarity in all lighting conditions. Delivered via the Clareon AutonoMe preloaded system, it ensures precise and efficient implantation. U.S. commercial rollout begins in May 2025, with international availability to follow.

Orasis Pharmaceuticals has launched QLOSIโ„ข (pilocarpine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) 0.4% in the U.S. to treat presbyopia. These preservative-free eye drops improve near vision by using a pinhole effect to adjust pupil size, while maintaining clear distance vision. QLOSI works within 20 minutes and lasts 8-12 hours. Itโ€™s recommended to use one drop per eye, up to twice daily, and remove contact lenses before application.
