Droopy eyelids can make you look more tired than you feel and may even block part of your vision. For many people, this condition—called acquired ptosis—can be frustrating and impact both confidence and day-to-day function. Upneeq® is the first and only FDA-approved prescription eye drop designed to lift the upper eyelids without surgery. With just one drop a day, you can enjoy a refreshed, more youthful appearance and improved vision.
What Is Upneeq?
Upneeq contains oxymetazoline hydrochloride, an ingredient that activates the muscles responsible for raising your eyelids. By gently stimulating Müller’s muscle, the drop creates a visible lift in the upper lid. This simple action can make your eyes look more open, awake, and alert. Results often begin within minutes and may last up to eight hours, making it easy to fit into your morning routine.
Unlike surgical options, Upneeq offers a non-invasive way to address drooping eyelids. It’s especially appealing for patients who want results without downtime or who may not be ready for a procedure.
Benefits of Upneeq
Upneeq offers multiple advantages for patients dealing with acquired ptosis:
Noticeable eyelid lift that enhances both appearance and expression
Improved vision if sagging lids are interfering with your line of sight
Fast results, often visible within five minutes of use
Convenience, with once-daily application in single-use vials
Non-surgical option, avoiding anesthesia, incisions, or recovery time
These benefits make Upneeq a unique solution for those seeking a safe, effective, and easy-to-use treatment.
What to Expect with Treatment
Using Upneeq is straightforward. Each foil-sealed vial contains a single dose. You’ll place one drop into each eye once a day, and the lift typically lasts throughout your waking hours. Most patients find the process painless and quick, with no disruption to their daily activities.
If you wear contact lenses, you’ll remove them before applying Upneeq and wait about 15 minutes before putting them back in. Your provider will give you complete instructions to ensure safe and effective use.
Safety and Side Effects
Upneeq is well-tolerated by most patients, but side effects are possible. The most common include eye redness, dryness, irritation, blurred vision, headache, or mild discomfort at the application site. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own.
It’s important to share your full health history with your provider. Patients with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or untreated narrow-angle glaucoma should be cautious, as Upneeq can affect blood pressure and eye pressure. Your provider will help determine if it’s a good fit for you.
