What Orasis Pharmaceuticals does
Orasis Pharmaceuticals is an eye care drug company focused on presbyopia, the age-related loss of near focus. Its product, Qlosi (pilocarpine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution 0.4%), is a preservative-free prescription eye drop. Ophthalmology Times explained that it works by narrowing the pupil, creating a pinhole effect that increases depth of field so close-up text looks sharper. The Qlosi website says one drop in each eye can be repeated after two to three hours, used daily or as needed up to twice a day, for an effect that can last up to eight hours.
The US Food and Drug Administration approved Qlosi on the basis of two Phase 3 trials, NEAR-1 and NEAR-2, which enrolled more than 600 patients; Orasis announced the approval on 18 October 2023. At the time Elad Kedar was CEO and Paul Smith was president and chief operating officer, and the company said it expected Qlosi to be available in the US in the first half of 2024. Orasis’s website now says Qlosi is available by prescription in the US through the pharmacy service BlinkRx. In 2026 the company announced that refills had reached 49.1% and that it was focusing on eye care professionals rather than telehealth, and it said it had filed a new drug application in Australia for a presbyopia drop called BESKA.
Pricing
Orasis does not publish Qlosi’s price on its company site. At approval, Smith told reporters that Qlosi would be a cash-pay product, meaning patients pay directly rather than through insurance, according to Eyes On Eyecare’s Glance. The Qlosi website mentions savings offers and a satisfaction guarantee, with terms on the site.
Who it suits
Qlosi is for adults with presbyopia who want an alternative to reading glasses for part of the day, after an eye doctor confirms it is suitable. It is not a cure, and the label warns about dim vision and care when driving at night.
This is not medical advice. This page is based on the Orasis and Qlosi websites (checked 15 October 2026) and coverage in Ophthalmology Times and Glance.
