Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objectives of this study are:

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Nyxol alone and with adjunctive low dose pilocarpine to improve distance-corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA) in subjects with presbyopia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a Randomized, Double-Masked, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter, Phase 3 Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Nyxol (Phentolamine Ophthalmic Solution 0.75%) as a Single Agent and With Adjunctive Low-Dose Pilocarpine Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution 0.4% in Subjects With Presbyopia
