Meet Upneeq: A New Treatment for Droopy Eyelids

Upneeq is the only FDA-approved prescription eye drop for acquired ptosis (low-lying lids) that lifts your upper eyelids to open your eyes.

Acquired Ptosis

Are low-lying eyelids making your eyes look a little tired? You may have acquired ptosis.

Acquired ptosis is a common medical condition that:

• Can develop later in life
• Affects adults of all ages, but occurs more often with increased age
• Usually occurs when the muscles in the eyelid stretch and weaken, causing the upper eyelid to droop
• May be caused by other issues, such as cataract surgery, contact lens wear, or an underlying medical condition. It could also be a sign of a more serious medical condition.

Millions of people who have acquired ptosis may not even be aware of it

• Millions of people over the age of 40 may have acquired ptosis
• But only 15% have been diagnosed, and even fewer have received any treatment*

Acquired ptosis can lead to vision impairment

Low-lying eyelid(s) can affect eyesight by not only blocking your vision, but also by reducing field of vision, which may interfere with day-to-day functions such as:
