What is Upneeq®?

Upneeq® (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) 0.1% is a prescription eye drop that treats acquired blepharoptosis, or drooping eyelids, in adults. Over time, aging and other factors can weaken the muscles responsible for lifting the eyelids, leading to a sagging, tired appearance and potentially impairing vision. Upneeq® offers a simple, effective, and non-surgical solution to this common issue, helping you regain brighter, more youthful eyes.

Understanding Acquired Ptosis

Acquired ptosis is a condition that occurs when the upper eyelid begins to droop over time. This condition can be caused by the weakening of the muscles that lift the eyelids, aging, trauma, or even long-term use of contact lenses. The drooping of the eyelid not only impacts a person’s appearance by making them look tired or older but can also reduce their field of vision, making everyday tasks like reading, driving, or even walking more difficult.

Upneeq® is designed to treat this condition, offering an easy, non-surgical way to lift the eyelids and enhance appearance and vision.

How Does Upneeq® Work?

Upneeq® works by targeting the muscles of the upper eyelid. After applying just one drop to each affected eye, the solution stimulates the muscles, causing them to contract and lift the eyelid. As more of the iris and sclera (white part of the eye) are exposed, the eyes appear wider and more awake, providing both a cosmetic enhancement and an improvement in upper field of vision.

Results are often visible within 5 minutes of application, with effects lasting up to 8 hours, making Upneeq® a convenient, fast-acting option for daily use.
