Upneeq for Low-lying Lids

Are Your Eyes Bright or Sleepy?

If you’re often asked if you are tired when you are wide awake, you could have a condition called Acquired Ptosis.

What is Acquired Ptosis (Low-lying Lids)?

Acquired ptosis, otherwise known as low-lying lids, is a common medical condition. While it affects adults of all ages, it usually develops later in life. Low-lying lids generally occurs when the muscles in the eyelids stretch and become weak. It may also be caused by contact lens wear, cataract surgery or another underlying medical condition. It could also be a sign of a more serious condition.

While millions of people over age 40 have acquired ptosis, only 15% have been diagnosed and even fewer have been treated.

Introducing Upneeq

Upneeq is a prescription eye drop that effectively lifts eyelids. Upneeq is the only FDA-approved once daily prescription for acquired ptosis. In clinical trials, most patients saw lifted lids in as little as 2 hours. In clinical trials, Upneeq was proven safe and effective when used as directed by your physician. Common side effects in 1-5% of patients included eye redness, inflammation, dry eye, blurred vision, eye irritation, instillation site pain, and headache.

In addition to making you look less tired, Upneeq can significantly improve your field of vision – even on the first day of treatment!
