Do presbyopia drops like Qlosi cause headaches—and are they safe? This is one of the most common questions patients ask. Clinical data shows headaches occur in less than 10% of patients using Qlosi and are typically mild and temporary. Presbyopia drops work by improving near vision without fully replacing glasses, giving patients more flexibility in how they see day to day. If you’re struggling to read up close or experiencing eye strain, talk to your optometrist about whether presbyopia drops could be the right option for you.

Presbyopia is finally meeting its match in-clinic with Qlosi™ presbyopia eye drops (pilocarpine 0.4%), offering a practical, performance-based option alongside glasses, contact lenses, and surgery. In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Lyerly and Dr. Derek Cunningham discuss how to position presbyopia drops for success, including who to treat, how to dose, what to say chairside, and why athletes appreciate the functional freedom.

This episode dives into the groundbreaking advancements reshaping the optometry field, from dry eye innovations and the rise of smart glasses to improved specialty pharmacies and new presbyopia treatments. These technologies and strategies offer exciting opportunities to redefine patient care and enhance clinical practices.
