Readers in a Bottle

Reading glasses in a bottle — drops that constrict the pupil and return near focus for hours — presbyopia's first pharmaceutical answer arrived to a market of people who had been enlarging their phone fonts for years.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts test the promise: menus readable again by mid-morning, the drug-store readers retired for restaurant dinners, the dimness that pupil constriction imposes on evenings, brow-ache during the adjustment, and the wearing-off that schedules a day. Writers include the delighted intermittent users who save drops for occasions, the disappointed whose eyes gained little, night-driving cautions, and ophthalmologists on who the drops actually suit.

Who it's for

For anyone tired of losing their readers, weighing drops for particular days, or managing expectations about chemistry versus optics.
