Eyelids Sagging? Upneeq Eye Drops Offer an Eye-Opening Treatment

You glance in the mirror and notice your eyelids look droopy, making you appear tired — even when you're rested and feeling great. It's frustrating when your eyes don't look as bright, open, and alert as they once did.

If sagging eyelids make you self-conscious, Upneeq might be the quick, non-surgical solution you've been looking for. At InVision Eye Care in Lakewood, NJ, our experienced ophthalmologists and optometrists offer cutting-edge treatments like Upneeq to refresh your look and improve your vision.

With decades of expertise in eyelid conditions, we provide solutions tailored to the needs of patients in and around Ocean County and Monmouth County in New Jersey.

What Is Upneeq and How Does It Work?

Upneeq is an FDA-approved prescription eye drop that temporarily lifts drooping eyelids. The first and only product of its kind, Upneequ contains oxymetazoline, a medication that causes the Müller's muscle in the upper eyelid to contract.

It lifts the upper lid by around 1 millimeter, with effects typically noticeable within 15 minutes and lasting for as long as eight hours. Although 1mm might sound like a small amount, it can greatly impact patients with drooping upper eyelids. It offers a remarkable change, leaving eyes more open, larger, and more alert. 

Who Can Benefit from Upneeq?

If your eyelids have started to sag and are affecting your appearance or even your vision, Upneeq may be an excellent option. Adults with acquired ptosis — upper eyelid drooping that happens with age — are usually great candidates.

Upneeq can provide a fantastic upper eyelid refresh and temporary physical relief from the discomfort of drooping eyelids. If your drooping upper eyelids interfere with your peripheral vision, Upneeq can also provide a clearer line of vision.

While Upneeq is safe for most people, it's a prescription medication requiring consultation with one of our knowledgeable eye doctors.

How to Use Upneeq for Best Results

Using Upneeq is simple and takes just a few seconds each day:

• Apply one drop in each eye (Upneeq has single-use vials to make it easy)
• Wait at least 15 minutes before inserting contact lenses
• Avoid touching your eyes immediately after application
• Use consistently to maintain a lifted, refreshed appearance
• Store drops at room temperature to preserve effectiveness
