What Is Upneeq?

Upneeq is the first and only FDA-approved prescription eye drop designed to treat acquired ptosis (droopy eyelids). This condition can cause the upper eyelids to droop, giving the eyes a tired or aged appearance.

How does Upneeq work?

Upneeq works by stimulating the muscles in the eyelids to contract, lifting them and creating a more open, refreshed look. It is a quick, non-invasive solution that delivers noticeable results within minutes, helping patients achieve brighter, more alert eyes without surgery.

What causes droopy eyelids?

Droopy eyelids, or ptosis, can be caused by several factors:

Aging: As we age, the muscles that lift the eyelids (levator muscles) can weaken, leading to sagging or drooping of the upper eyelids.
Acquired Ptosis: This is the most common type, often caused by muscle or nerve damage that develops over time due to factors like surgery, trauma, or repetitive eye rubbing.
Genetics: Some people are born with congenital ptosis, where the eyelid muscles don’t develop properly, causing droopiness from birth.
Medical Conditions: Certain neurological or muscular disorders, such as myasthenia gravis or Horner’s syndrome, can lead to ptosis. Diabetes and stroke may also affect the nerves controlling the eyelid muscles.
Eye Surgeries or Injuries: Prior surgeries, injuries, or prolonged contact lens use can weaken the eyelid muscles or damage the nerves, causing droopy eyelids.

Each case can vary, and treatment depends on the underlying cause.
