Upneeq
With Upneeq, you can experience an eye-opening lift with just a single drop!
Say ‘goodbye’ to tired eyes, and ‘hello’ to Upneeq.
What is Upneeq?
Upneeq is a daily eye drop for the treatment of acquired blepharoptosis (low-lying eyelids) and the only FDA-approved drop of its kind.
Upneeq contains oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution (0.1%) and works by safely activating the muscles in the upper eyelid to give your eyes a more youthful, bright appearance.
What Causes Low-Lying Lids?
“Sleepy” looking eyelids are usually a result of the aging process but can also be caused by other underlying conditions. Overwearing contact lenses and undergoing cataract surgery can all contribute to having tired-looking eyes.
Adults of all ages and genders can be affected by acquired blepharoptosis, but most affected individuals haven’t yet been diagnosed with the condition.
Speak with your doctor to rule out more serious medical conditions that may be causing your droopy eyelids.
Who Is Upneeq Intended For?
Upneeq is ideal for anyone over the age of 13 years old with acquired eyelid ptosis in either one or both eyes.
Upneeq is not intended to treat patients with congenital blepharoptosis (born with the condition).
