Interesting partner choice: female over age 50. Good demographic for this product. I wonder if we'll see a male athlete over age 50 next

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 14, 2026—LENZ Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: LENZ or "LENZ" or the "Company"), today announced the launch of "Make it VIZZable", the VIZZ consumer campaign with award-winning actor, producer and publisher, Sarah Jessica Parker ("SJP") as a brand ambassador for VIZZ™ (aceclidine ophthalmic solution) 1.44%. As part of the campaign, SJP will detail her own experiences with age-related blurry near vision and the ways in which VIZZ has made a real difference in her life.
Sarah Jessica Parker, VIZZ partner
"My age-related blurry near vision was a daily frustration, it got in the way of everything," said Parker. "It's so nice not having to reach for my reading glasses all the time; life just becomes more efficient. Life's everyday moments like checking my phone, doing my makeup, or my passion to read—everything feels easier. This is a gamechanger. My eye doctor was really excited about VIZZ, and I can see why. It's a real solution for people who want more ease, freedom and confidence in their day-to-day life."
SJP is one of the 128 million Americans who know all too well how age-related blurry near vision can get in the way of work, daily tasks and everyday moments. It was around 15 years ago when she noticed her nightly reading was becoming a strain. She was frustrated that she was no longer able to read comfortably without reading glasses, but she accepted them as her new way of life and an inevitable part of aging, until she started using VIZZ.
"Sarah Jessica's experience with age-related blurry near vision is so universal and relatable, we knew she would be a perfect partner in this campaign," said Eef Schimmelpennink, CEO of LENZ Therapeutics. "We are honored to partner with SJP to introduce a unique new alternative to reading glasses for the millions affected by blurry near vision as they age. With VIZZ, we're excited to provide a revolutionary option that helps people regain the visual freedom they've been missing."
As brand ambassador, Parker's story, told with her iconic wit and charm, will be the driving force behind the company's 'Make it VIZZable' campaign, which highlights how much more convenient life can be when age-related blurry near vision isn't getting in the way of everyday moments. The campaign features Parker in the streets of New York City, demonstrating the eye drops in action as she reads her text messages, scans price tags and reviews scripts without reading glasses. More details can be found about her story on www.VIZZ.com and on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn.
Age-related blurry near vision can pose significant challenges in daily life for those 45 years and older. Although the progression of age-related blurry near vision is gradual, those living with it often experience an abrupt change in their daily life as the symptoms become more pronounced, when reading glasses or other corrective aids are suddenly necessary to read text or conduct close-up work.
VIZZ is powered by aceclidine, differentiated by its mechanism of action as a predominantly pupil-selective miotic that interacts with the iris, with minimal ciliary muscle stimulation. VIZZ contracts the iris sphincter muscle, resulting in a pinhole effect and uniquely achieves a sub-2mm pupil that extends depth of focus to significantly improve near vision without causing a myopic shift. In the CLARITY Phase 3 clinical trial, 93% of participants achieved 20/40 or better near vision within 30 minutes and lasted up to 10 hours. This level of near vision can restore the ability to read a phone screen and other everyday fine print without the assistance of reading glasses.
