How it works
From this product’s own US prescribing label.
Aceclidine is a cholinergic muscarinic agonist that stimulates muscarinic receptors located on smooth muscles.
VIZZ is a predominantly pupil selective miotic that interacts with the iris with minimal ciliary muscle stimulation.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Risk Summary There are no adequate and well controlled studies of VIZZ administration in pregnant women to inform a drug associated risk.
- In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of aceclidine to pregnant rats and rabbits throughout organogenesis and lactation did not produce adverse maternal, fetal or neonatal effects at clinically relevant doses.
- Data Animal Data In embryofetal development studies, oral administration of aceclidine to pregnant rats and rabbits throughout organogenesis produced no maternal toxicity, skeletal anomalies, nor reduction in fetal body weight at 1.5 mg/kg/day (approximately 110-fold and 70-fold the human plasma exposure to the metabolite, 3-quinuclidinol, in rats and rabbits, respectively, at the MRHOD, assuming administration of 2 drops/eye/day).
- In a pre-/postnatal development study in rats, oral administration of aceclidine during organogenesis through lactation produced no adverse maternal, fetal, or neonatal effects at doses up to 1.5 mg/kg/day (approximately 110-fold higher than the MHOD based on body surface area, assuming administration of 2 drops/eye/day).
- IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
- 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate and well controlled studies of VIZZ administration in pregnant women to inform a drug associated risk.
- In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of aceclidine to pregnant rats and rabbits throughout organogenesis and lactation did not produce adverse maternal, fetal or neonatal effects at clinically relevant doses.
- Data Animal Data In embryofetal development studies, oral administration of aceclidine to pregnant rats and rabbits throughout organogenesis produced no maternal toxicity, skeletal anomalies, nor reduction in fetal body weight at 1.5 mg/kg/day (approximately 110-fold and 70-fold the human plasma exposure to the metabolite, 3-quinuclidinol, in rats and rabbits, respectively, at the MRHOD, assuming administration of 2 drops/eye/day).
- In a pre-/postnatal development study in rats, oral administration of aceclidine during organogenesis through lactation produced no adverse maternal, fetal, or neonatal effects at doses up to 1.5 mg/kg/day (approximately 110-fold higher than the MHOD based on body surface area, assuming administration of 2 drops/eye/day).
- 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of VIZZ or its metabolite in human or animal milk, the effects on breastfed infants or the effects on milk production to inform the risk of VIZZ to an infant during lactation.
- Systemic levels of aceclidine and its metabolites following topical ocular administration are low [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , and it is not known whether measurable levels of aceclidine or its metabolites would be present in human milk following topical ocular administration.
- The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for VIZZ and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from VIZZ or from the underlying maternal condition.
- 8.4 Pediatric Use Presbyopia does not occur in the pediatric population.
- 8.5 Geriatric Use No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of VIZZ have been observed between patients 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients.
Quoted from the official label, section “OTC — Pregnancy or Breast Feeding”.
If you take too much
In an emergency, call your local emergency number or a poison control centre.
- Systemic toxicity following topical ocular administration of miotics is rare, but occasionally patients who are sensitive may develop increased salivation, sweating, gastrointestinal overactivity, and slowing of the pulse.
- Accidental ingestion can produce sweating, salivation, nausea, tremors, slowing of the pulse, and a decrease in blood pressure.
- In moderate overdosage, spontaneous recovery is to be expected and is aided by intravenous fluids to compensate for dehydration.
Quoted from the official label, section “Overdosage”.
Use in children
Presbyopia does not occur in the pediatric population.
Quoted from the official label, section “Pediatric Use”.
Use in older people
No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of VIZZ have been observed between patients 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients.
Quoted from the official label, section “Geriatric Use”.
Side effects
- The most common adverse reactions were instillation site irritation (20%), dim vision (16%), and headache (13%) ( 6.1 ).
- To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact LENZ Therapeutics, Inc. at 1-888-711-LENZ or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch .
- 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
- VIZZ dosed once daily was evaluated for safety and efficacy in 466 participants with presbyopia in 2 randomized, double-masked, controlled phase 3 studies for 42 days (CLARITY-1, NCT05656027 and CLARITY-2, NCT05728944).
- VIZZ dosed once daily was also evaluated for long term safety in 217 participants with presbyopia in a separate randomized, double-masked, controlled phase 3 study (CLARITY-3, NCT05753189) for a 6-month duration.
- The most common reported adverse reactions of participants were instillation site irritation (20%), dim vision (16%), and headache (13%).
- Adverse reactions reported in > 5% of participants were conjunctival hyperemia (8%) and ocular hyperemia (7%).
- The majority of adverse reactions were mild, transient, and self-resolving.
