A new drug is up for FDA approval that could help more than 128 million Americans who need reading glasses.

In clinical trials the eye drops from Allergan Eye Care helped people see more clearly, close up.

The drops also helped with distance focus.

Although the eye drops won't fix your vision researchers say they will offer temporary help.

The drug is expected to get FDA approval by the end of the year.
