Known as VIZZ, from pharmaceutical company LENZ, the drops are an aceclidine ophthalmic solution that effectively treats presbyopia in adults. The once-daily drops offer relief from blurry near. vision for up to 10 hours.

Presbyopia is an age related disease that affects the eye muscles impairing near vision as the muscles cannot contract enough to focus on things that are close. So this isn't for myopia aka near sightedness.
