"The entire Brand Institute and Drug Safety Institute Team congratulates Allergan on the FDA approval of VUITY," said Brand Institute's Chairman and CEO, James L. Dettore.
MIAMI, Dec. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Brand Institute is proud to announce its successful partnership with Allergan, Inc., an AbbVie company, in naming VUITY™, the first and only treatment approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to treat age-related blurry near vision (Presbyopia).
"The entire Brand Institute and Drug Safety Institute Team congratulates Allergan on the FDA approval of VUITY™," said Brand Institute's Chairman and CEO, James L. Dettore. "VUITY™ is truly a landmark treatment for those whose near vision has deteriorated. That we now know VUITY™ satisfies the rigorous safety and efficacy standards of the FDA is excellent news."
"We believe the VUITY™ brand name has many desirable characteristics, including its brevity, tonality, and a prefix that evokes the word 'view'—or the concept of vision," Dettore said. "We couldn't be happier to see this brand name come to market."
