Aceclidine is a parasympathomimetic cholinergic drug that functions as a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. It is used in ophthalmology as a miotic agent to constrict the pupil. Historically used in Europe for the treatment of glaucoma, aceclidine received its first U.S. approval in 2025 under the brand name Vizz as a topical eye drop for the correction of presbyopia. Its mechanism of action produces pupil contraction with a relatively minimal effect on the ciliary muscle, which improves near visual acuity through a "pinhole" depth-of-field effect without inducing significant accommodative spasm.
