Qlosi EyeQ Formulation
EYEQ FORMULATION™

Not all miotics
are created equal

Drops they dread don’t stick. Drops they love? That’s Qlosi

Low concentration meets high design

Not just a lower dose of what came before
EyeQ Formulation™: A formulation designed specifically for presbyopia, with the lowest effective concentration of any FDA-approved miotic.1-6

Designed to deliver
clear near vision1,4

And maintain an optimal pupil response7
Traditional miotics rely on higher concentrations driving stronger ciliary muscle engagement and increasing the potential for trade-offs.7

Qlosi takes a different approach
Qlosi 0.4% pilocarpine7:
Comparable to BSS control with no statistically significant change in ciliary muscle thickness (CMT)
2% pilocarpine7:
Demonstrated significant
increases in ciliary muscle thickness
This was a prospective, fixed-sequence crossover design with masked data analysis. The study enrolled 10 patients, recorded over 10,000 images.

Ciliary muscle thickness comparison: Qlosi 0.4% pilocarpine vs 2% pilocarpine
Supports accommodative demands with minimal ciliary muscle engagement7
Targeted approach7
Potentially reduce tractional forces associated with a high-concentration (2% pilocarpine) miotic7
Dr. Harmin Chima
So this data shows that Qlosi is ciliary [muscle] sparing, and that significantly reduces, in my opinion, the risk of retinal detachment. It gives me lot of confidence to have a conversation that really sets accurate expectations.”

Warnings and Precautions

Advise patients to not drive or operate machinery if vision is not clear (e.g., blurred vision). Exercise caution in night driving and other hazardous occupations in poor illumination.

Rare cases of retinal detachment have been reported with miotics. Examination of the retina is advised in all patients prior to initiation of therapy. Advise patients to seek immediate medical care with sudden onset of flashes of lights, floaters, or vision loss.

Qlosi is not recommended to be used when iritis is present.

Qlosi should not be administered while wearing contact lenses. Remove lenses prior to the instillation of Qlosi and wait 10 minutes before reinsertion.

Avoid touching the tip of the vial to the eye or any other surface.

Adverse Reactions

The most common adverse reactions (5% to 8%) are instillation site pain and headaches.
