Visitors to this page can follow company announcements on topics such as FDA approval of VIZZ, the start of professional sample distribution to optometrists and ophthalmologists, and the rollout of commercial product availability through ePharmacy channels and retail pharmacies in the United States. LENZ also issues news about early launch metrics, including the number of eye care professionals prescribing VIZZ and prescription volumes in its initial quarters on the market.
Because LENZ is focused on a single branded product, its news often centers on presbyopia treatment, clinical data from the CLARITY Phase 3 trials, and safety and tolerability information for VIZZ. The company also reports on its participation in investor and medical conferences, where management discusses commercial progress and clinicians present data on aceclidine 1.44% ophthalmic solution and optimal pupil size for miotic treatment of presbyopia.
International expansion is another recurring theme in LENZ news. Press releases describe exclusive commercialization partnerships for VIZZ in the Middle East with Lunatus, a licensing and commercialization agreement with Lotus Pharmaceutical in South Korea and Southeast Asia, and other regional arrangements. Updates on direct-to-consumer initiatives, such as the “Make it VIZZable” campaign featuring Sarah Jessica Parker as brand ambassador, provide additional context on how LENZ is promoting VIZZ to adults living with age-related blurry near vision.
