Drug Information
Mechanism of Action
12.1 Mechanism of Action 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. VIZZ causes contraction of the iris sphincter muscle, resulting in a pinhole effect that extends depth of focus to improve vision.

Side Effects (Adverse Reactions)
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS 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.
