Upneeq

Discover the only FDA-approved prescription eyedrop that lifts your upper eyelids.

Understanding Low-Lying Eyelids

If your eyes look perpetually tired, you may have acquired ptosis, also known as low-lying eyelids. This condition can appear at any time, but it is more common as you age and the muscles in your eyelid stretch and weaken. Low-lying eyelids can impact both your appearance and your daily functioning, resulting in:

Difficulty reading, driving, and working
A tired and aged facial appearance
Asymmetrical and unbalanced eyes
Other cosmetic concerns

UpneeqFAQ

Am I a candidate for Upneeq?

Upneeq is a great solution for people with mild to moderate ptosis. If your ptosis is more severe, Upneeq may not be sufficient. In this case, you may require eyelid surgery.

Why do I have low-lying eyelids?

Acquired ptosis, or low-lying eyelids, can be a natural consequence of the aging process. They may also be due to wearing contact lenses, cataract surgery, or another underlying condition.

Are there any side effects of Upneeq?

The most common side effects are inflammation, redness, dry eye, blurry vision, and headache.

Will Upneeq work on congenital ptosis?

No. Upneeq is specifically designed for acquired ptosis (drooping that developed over time). If you want to correct congenital ptosis, you will likely require eyelid surgery.

How does Upneeq work to lift the eyelids?

Upneeq uses an ingredient called oxymetazoline, which is an alpha-adrenergic. This ingredient triggers the Muller’s muscle to contract, which raises the upper eyelid.
