Experimental eye drops could help tackle glare and poor vision during night driving
- Experimental eye drops from Opus Genetics may help people who struggle to see clearly while driving at night, especially due to glare.
- The drops contain 0.75% phentolamine and work by keeping the pupils moderately constricted, potentially improving vision in dark conditions.
- In a late-stage trial of 145 people, 21% saw a major improvement after 15 days, compared with 3% on placebo.
- Users also reported less trouble from glare, halos and starbursts, while the US FDA has granted the drops Fast Track status.
